OLLI at ISU’s Purpose

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Indiana State University (OLLI at ISU) is a non-profit, membership

organization open to all adults but geared towards individuals age 50 and older, regardless of academic background.

At its center are learning programs designed by its members and tailored to suit their interests. These programs

(lectures, courses, and special events) are offered without concern for grades, credits, or prerequisites. Indeed, the

only requirement for membership in the Institute is a desire to learn.

The Institute emphasizes collaborative leadership and active member participation. The primary responsibilities for

programs are assumed by Institute members, all of whom volunteer their time. However, it is only because of the

substantial support of the Bernard Osher Foundation and Indiana State University that the Institute can offer these

unique learning opportunities to residents of the Wabash Valley. The Osher Institute is also affiliated with the

Exploritas (Elderhostel Information Network).

WHAT IS OLLI AT ISU?

The Faces of OLLI

WHAT MEMBERS SAY ABOUT OLLI!

Join the Conversations, Fun, and Learning

with OLLI at ISU!!

Ruth Erickson - The Treasures of the Metropolitan Museum course was a joy ...so good to learn of great art and history from the

video lecture AND Harriet McNeal!! This format is a great addition to the type of offerings OLLI has ...let's have lots more.

Olga Llewellyn - I enjoyed all the day trips. OLLI means meeting new friends, re-acquainting myself with old ones. Also very

informative information....especially enjoyed the Wednesday presentations at Westminster Village & the Landsbaum Center.

Great programs!

Judy Williams - Two programs I really enjoyed are the Feline Rescue Center; it was partly because of the cats, but also it

contributed money to their care and feeding. The annual meeting at the Indiana Theatre gave people the opportunity to have a

tour without paying a lot of money or dressing up for a fancy dinner, show, or program. Last year I went with OLLI and First

Gold Club to IKEA and Jungle Jim's with a stop at Sherman House for dinner; very nice full day.

Pat Creasey - The OLLI programs that I have enjoyed and most benefited from were related to "better health." As we begin to

age, this becomes of more concern. The program on "Music Therapy" was excellent and enjoyable as we shared songs and

stories with the presenter. The "Nutrition Your Way" program offered some new and unique suggestions for better health. It was

just one of many informative, helpful programs presented by the OLLI and the Maple Center. Dr. Marlow's presentation titled

Using Your Mind to Direct Your Body to Promote Healing & Reduce your Pain was extremely meaningful and educational. I

don't have health problems or chronic pain, but attending these programs provides information I can share with others. Using the

Landsbaum Health Center for programs is special because there are no parking problems and it's a short walk into the building.

The wide range of program topics offered by OLLI is well planned by the members of OLLI. The music and drama programs,

often provided through ISU, are especially appealing. Attending with OLLI friends is much better than attending alone. The

programs held at Westminster are always entertaining; there is no charge and parking is free. Attending OLLI programs gives me

pleasure, educates me in many new fields, and helps to keep me young! I encourage anyone who doesn't want to be isolated nor

to grow stale to become a member of OLLI (the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute). Are we ever too old to experience learning

or to have a good time with friends? It takes many hard-working folks to present these program "opportunities," and I thank each

participant and especially the dedicated Program Administrator, Michelle Bennett.

Sam & Jo Ligget - We very much enjoyed the trip to see the Terra Cotta Warrior Exhibit at the Indianapolis Children's

Museum. What a rare opportunity!

Jeanne Frost - Water aerobics is fun and provides a great workout. Everyone works at their own pace. There is no pressure to

do any more than you feel able to do. The instructor is experienced and knowledgeable. The classes allow me to do exercises that

I could not do on land. I've been to similar classes elsewhere, but they did not match up to the quality provided by OLLI.

I encourage anyone who has difficulty with other forms of exercise to give this a try.

Ann Tornese - We love the OLLI courses, presentations, & special events because they offer a variety of experiences that we

could not get on our own from behind the scenes at the filming of TNT Network’s show “Cold Justice” which included our local

law enforcement officials, to sampling ethnic dishes which are not on the menus at our local family-owned restaurants, to

learning about art, music, current events, history, etc. not only locally but around the world. We have had fabulous speakers &

innovative programs which appeal to people of all ages and backgrounds. Where could anyone experience that kind of variety

without leaving the area & at such an affordable price?

Deadline for Registration is August 18, 2014!

This course is in conjunction with an Indiana State

University Class. OLLI members meet in with the university

class, but only on Wednesdays, during the discussion part of

the course. The course will analyze the economic aspects of

issues related to gender, such as gender wage gaps, labor

force discrimination, family-friendly policies in the work-

place, the valuation of unpaid household work, and the

differential impact of public policies. It will also examine

the importance of gender in economic theories of household

behavior.

From James Bond to Jihad: The

Cold War and Post-Cold War World With Barbara Skinner, ISU Associate Professor of History

Date/Time: Wednesdays, August 20 - November 19, 2014

from 6:30 - 9:15 PM

Place: ISU, Stalker Hall, 306

Cost: $15

Deadline for Registration is

August 13, 2014!

This course is in conjunction with an Indiana State

University Class. OLLI members will attend Wednesday

evening class with Indiana State University students. You are

not required to attend every session. This course will look at

the ideological rivalry between Communism and democratic

capitalism known as the “Cold War” that drove historical

events in the last half of the 20th century. Centered on two

superpowers, the United State and the Soviet Union, the

world divided into two opposing camps, armed for nuclear

Armageddon.

Proceeding chronologically through the historical landmarks

of the Cold War and its aftermath, we will consider how the

bipolar division of the world affected political, cultural,

technological, and social trends from the Communist

takeover of Eastern Europe, the building of the Berlin Wall,

and the Cuban missile crisis. With the end of the Soviet

Union in 1991 we will also look at the post-Soviet world

with the rise of radical Islamic terrorism. We will assess the

nature of the superpower conflict, question and critique the

political behavior behind key events, and discuss the society,

psychology, and culture created by the tensions of the era,

from the spy-craft of the James Bond era to the suicide

bombings of recent terrorist acts.

Understanding the World's Greatest

Structures: Science and Innovation

from Cantilever Bridges

to Skyscrapers With Andrew Payne, ISU Chair and Associate Professor of

Built Environment

Date/Time: Mondays, September 8, 15, & 22, 2014

from 5 - 7 PM

Place: ISU, University Hall, 101

Cost: $15 (See Special Offer on page 5)

Maximum: 20


September 1, 2014!

What makes a structure a building, bridge, or tower great?

The phrase "great structure" might bring to mind structures

famous for their age, their size, their beauty, or all three:

Egypt's pyramids, France's Gothic cathedrals, or New York's

skyscrapers, just to name a few. But from an engineer's

perspective, greatness is not just a matter of aesthetics. In

fact, most engineers agree with the pronouncement by

Vitruvius, a 1st-century B.C. Roman architect-engineer. “To

be considered great,” Vitruvius said in his treatise De

Architectura, “a construction must be exemplary in its form,

function, or structure.” This course will focus on two types of

great structures Cantilever Bridges and Skyscrapers. In this

course, we will not only study the principles of form,

function, and structure the "why" that made these particular

structures great. We will also look at the "how" of their

Construction. After all, the only thing more awe inspiring

than seeing a great structure is understanding the complex

and beautiful principles behind its construction.

COURSES


Date/Time: Tuesdays, September 9, 16, & 23, 2014

from 11 AM - 12:30 PM

Place: ISU, Technology Building Annex, room 227

Cost: $15

Maximum: 25

Deadline for Registration is September 2, 2014!

The Smithsonian American Art Museum has a long history of offering

interactive, videoconference-based learning. Our course will be taught by a

group of Museum study group leaders, who are seasoned volunteer

videoconference presenters deeply familiar with the Museum’s collections

and facilitation of object-based discussions. Their previous professional

experience, paired with Museum-provided training, has prepared them to be responsive to your interests and facile leaders of

discussion.

Artists give us a unique window on American life, reflecting the cultural, social, and political climate of the time in which they

work. What can we learn about America through its art? OLLI members will examine America through the eyes of artists in three

sessions, each focused on a separate era:

Early America: Made as Americans transformed themselves from colonists to citizens of a new nation, early American art tells

the story of national ambitions, territorial expansion, and the beginnings of industry. OLLI Members will explore the historical

context of the creation of our nation, as well as the resulting political infrastructure and economic development through artworks

from colonial to Jacksonian America.

Wars At Home and Abroad: Beginning with the Civil War and stretching through WWII, artists’ depictions of America during

troubled times reflect a changing national identity. Themes may include the effect of the Civil War on soldiers, families, and

African Americans; the ideas and debate related to plans to reconstruct America; the Great Depression and WPA programs; and the

World War II home front experience.

Contemporary Life: America entering the post-War era experienced a boom time colored by global uncertainty. Artists grappled

with how to reflect America’s changing social and political landscape: some raised questions about the value of art history, while

others confronted issues of race and gender inequality. Themes may include works made in response to various movements (Civil

Rights, social justice movements like the Farm Workers boycotts, the feminist movement, the role of technology in modern life)

and works that ask us: “What is an American today?”

COURSES

Intergenerational Dialogs: Human

Rights and Sustainability With Tina Kruger, ISU Assistant Professor of

Applied Health Science

Date/Time: Thursdays,

September 11, October 16, November 20, 2014

from 2 - 3:15 PM

Place: ISU, University Hall, Whitaker Conference Room


Maximum:20


September 1, 2014!

Enjoy exploring the connections

between human rights, sustainability,

and the aging of our population with

an ISU Society and Aging class

taught by Tina Kruger. OLLI participates will join with this

class on Sept 11, Oct 16, and Nov 20, 2014. This will be a

round table discussion between ISU students and OLLI

participants on subjects about human rights and the

environment.

Over three meeting we will discuss: What are the basic rights

of a human being and how are those rights determined and

protected? How do different age groups influence the

environment? We will also explore ways to use photography

to identify and address local challenges, by sharing

photographs taken by participants in this course and discuss

the challenges that were identified and potential solutions to

those challenges. At the end we will discuss ways that

intergenerational groups might work together to address local

challenges related to the environment and to promote human

rights. What factors facilitate intergenerational activities that

can promote both human rights and sustainability?

Come share your views with other generations and hear what

they think about these topics!

Indiana History:

Vincennes in the 1780s

Professor William W. Giffin will

talk about the lives of people in

Vincennes and in the Wabash Valley during the 1780s. The

Vincennes area was occupied by native people like the

Piankashaws, French inhabitants, and settlers from the East.

Each of these three communities possessed different cultures

and different views regarding land ownership. The lecture

will address the question: How did ethnic friction and rival

land claims shape the lives of the people of these three

communities in and around Vincennes during the 1780s?

Territory to Statehood

When did Indiana become a territory? What other states were

included in the territory? How did Indiana make the change

from territory to state? These and other questions will be

answered.

Saint Mother Theodore Guerin

Sister Jan Craven will talk about St. Mother Theodore,

beginning with some highlights of her childhood, her life as a

Sister of Providence in France, her journey to America, the

years of pain and growth, missions that were opened, her

struggles with health and money. Finally she will talk about

St. Mother Theodore’s writings and death.

practice or identify with Judaism today.

Betsy Frank will facilitate the discussion as we work through

several aspects of the Jewish faith with certain DVDs from

the Great Courses series on Judaism. The topics that will be

covered are: Judaism and historical context, worship and life

about the these two popular stories told in different formats

and help settle the debate “Which is Better the BOOK or the

MOVIE?”.

The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith

Book - The Talented Mr. Ripley is a 1955

psychological thriller novel by Patricia Highsmith.

This novel first introduced the character of Tom

Ripley, a young sociopath struggling to make a

living in 1950s New York City using his

"talents"—forgery, lying and impersonation.

Movie - Purple Noon is a 1960 film directed by René

Clément, based on the 1955 novel The Talented Mr. Ripley

by Patricia Highsmith. The film stars Alain Delon in his first

major film.

Devil in the Blue Dress by Walter Mosley

Book - Los Angeles, 1948: Easy Rawlins is a

black war veteran just fired from his job at a

defense plant. Easy is wondering how he'll meet

his mortgage, when a white man in a linen suit

asks him to simply locate Miss Daphne Money.

Movie - Denzel Washington turns up the heat as a private eye

in this steamy mystery from executive producers Jonathan

Demme and Edward Saxon and director Carl Franklin.

COURSES

World War I: The Catastrophe that

Shaped the Modern World With Don Layton, ISU Professor Emeritus

Date/Time: Mondays, November 3, 10, & 17, 2014

from 2 - 4 PM



Maximum: 20

Deadline for Registration is October 27, 2014!

Three lectures will comprise this course, offered in

remembrance of the 100th anniversary of the beginning of

the Great War, or as it was later known, World War I.

The first lecture will be an overview of the war, with an

emphasis on its truly catastrophic nature, particularly in

Europe. The historian Paul Fussell has written that “Every

war is ironic because every war is worse than expected, but

the Great War was more ironic than any before or after.” Just

how bad it was is one of the themes of this lecture.

Lecture number two’s themes will be the causes and the

course of this great conflict; it will also examine the recent

literature and scholarship about these subjects.

The third class will discuss the war’s final years, the entrance

of the U.S. into it, the controversial peace treaty which ended

it, and the great changes in the world brought about by this

“WAR TO END ALL WARS.”

Great American Music:

Broadway Musicals With Colleen Davis, ISU Associate Professor of Music and

Chris Berchild ISU Associate Professor of Theater

Date/Time: Thursdays, November 13 & 20, 2014

from 2 - 4 PM

Place: TBA


Maximum: 20


In conjunction with the Great Courses DVD series Great

American Music: Broadway Musicals, Colleen and Chris

will focus on the 1940’s, 50’s, & 70’s to present. These time

periods gave us some of the most popular musicals to hit

Broadway. In the 1940’s Rodgers & Hammerstein reigned

with musicals such as Oklahoma!, Carousel, & South

Pacific. The 1950’s were called the Golden Age of Musical

Theater with such classics as My Fair Lady, The King & I,

The Sound of Music, & Guys & Dolls. The final years of the

20th century saw the development of the concept musical, a

genre created by, among others, Stephen Sondheim, and

exemplified by such shows as Cats & A Chorus Line. The

late 1990s and early 21st century seemed to bring back a

much needed light touch with shows such as The Producers

Shakespeare in Tuscany and Santa Monica:

Two Recent Films of Much Ado About Nothing With Tom Sauer, ISU Professor Emeritus

Date/Time: Tuesday, November 18, 2014

from 9 AM - 4:30 PM

Place: Westminster Village, Media Room


Maximum: 20

Deadline for Registration is November 11, 2014!

In 1993, the British director and actor Kenneth Branagh released his adaptation of Shakespeare’s popular comedy Much Ado

About Nothing (1599), with a cast of international film stars and setting the action in a villa in Tuscany ca. 400 years ago. In 2013,

the American director Joss Whedon released his adaptation of Much Ado, with a cast of actors from Whedon’s various

television series and setting the action in his own house in Santa Monica, California, today. These two very different films of

Shakespeare’s witty play demonstrate the richness of Shakespeare’s humor and psychological insight while also showing how

Shakespeare “translates” so effectively to the cinematic style of a full color international epic or a black and white American

screwball comedy.

Neither film presumes prior familiarity with Shakespeare’s play. The goal of the course is to increase our appreciation and

understanding of Shakespeare based on our experience of these two delightful but very different film versions of Much Ado.

The class will meet from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 PM with a break for lunch from 12:00 noon to 1:00 PM available on site.

9:00-9:30 Introductory Remarks on Shakespeare’s play and on Branagh’s film

9:30-11:40 Viewing of Branagh’s Much Ado About Nothing (with 10-minute intermission)

11:40:12:00 Initial Discussion of Branagh’s film

12:00-1:00 Lunch with continuing discussion

1:00-1:15 Introductory Remarks on Whedon’s film

1:15-3:25 Viewing of Whedon’s Much Ado About Nothing (with 10-minute intermission)

3:25-4:30 Discussion of Whedon’s film, comparison and contrast of both films, and reflections on Shakespeare

adventures in the long-ago court

of Mustafa, a governor in Algeria.

shipwrecked, Isabella is delivered

to Mustafa as a prospective

wife—but he already has a wife!

And not only that-he has a slave

who happens to be Isabella’s

fiancé! But Mustafa is not the

no match for the wily Isabella.

Enjoy as she outmaneuvers him at

every turn, planning and executing

a brilliant mass escape worthy of a

four-star general.
