The Osher FoundationThe Bernard Osher Foundation, headquartered in San Francisco, was founded in 1977 by Bernard Osher, a respected businessman and community leader. The

Foundation seeks to improve quality of life through support for higher education and the arts. Mr. Osher is a community-oriented businessman whose philanthropy created Osher Lifelong Learning Institutes (OLLI) across the country. Our OLLI is in a network of 124 lifelong learning programs on university and college campuses across the country, with at least one grantee in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

OLLI owes its existence to Bernard and Barbro Osher, whose vision and continuing moral and financial support of lifelong learning is unprecedented and unparalleled. We are very fortunate and proud to have an OLLI at Texas Tech University.

Our MissionThe mission of Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Texas Tech University is to provide enjoyable and stimulating non-credit learning and cultural opportunities for its members.

What is Osher Lifelong Learning Institute?OLLI began as a continuing education program at Texas Tech University in 2002-2003 as Texas Tech Lifelong Learning. In 2008, endowment support was received from the Bernard Osher Foundation. In recognition of its affiliation with the Osher Foundation and as one of 124 such institutes nationwide, Texas Tech Lifelong Learning was re-named Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Texas Tech University. We are self-sustaining, supported through membership dues, class fees, an endowment from the Bernard Osher Foundation, donations and in-kind support from Texas Tech University. No tests, no grades, no research papers – just intellectual stimulation.

What are the requirements to join?Everyone age 50 and older may join. The only prerequisite is a desire to learn.

What does membership cost?Membership is $30 per person, valid for a year from date of purchase, and does not include cost of individual courses.

Where is the OLLI office?Our offices are located in the TTU Higher Education Teaching Sites at 2818 East U.S. Hwy 290, Fredericksburg, Texas, and 806 Steve Hawkins Pkwy, Marble Falls, Texas. Our phone numbers are (830) 990-4948 for Fredericksburg and (830) 693-0478 for Highland Lakes. Our phone stays busy each semester, so if you reach voicemail, it is likely the staff is on another phone call or has a visitor in the office. Please leave a message, and your call will be returned as quickly as possible by an employee or a volunteer.

Who teaches OLLI classes?Most of our classes are taught by distinguished professors, both active and retired. Other instructors are experts in their fields, university doctoral students or OLLI members. There is one common denominator: they teach because they enjoy education and OLLI students.

What happens for weather or other emergency cancellations?OLLI follows the same policy as Texas Tech University for cancellations because of weather or other acts of nature or emergencies. If TTU classes are canceled, OLLI classes are also canceled. Postings can be found at www.emergency.ttu.edu as well as on local television or radio stations. OLLI reserves the right to substitute instructors, rearrange class schedules, or cancel classes because of low enrollment or illness. In case of class cancellation or a schedule change, you will be notified and may receive a credit for another class in the same semester or a refund.

What if I have to cancel my registration?Because space in classes is limited, please let the office know as soon as possible if you need to cancel a class registration. It is important that you are aware that canceling any class requiring bus transportation, food or supplies will result in loss of the registration fee unless the member is able to find a replacement to attend in their place.

For all other classes, we ask that members let us know of their cancellation at least four days in advance to be eligible to receive a credit transfer to be applied to another class or a refund. Members may also choose to donate their refund if they wish to support OLLI operations.We do provide full refunds on a case-by-case basis for illness, medical emergencies, etc. Membership fees cannot be credited or refunded.

Which Story Line Tells Your Life Story? Why do people find certain movies, novels, celebrities

and conspiracy theories so appealing? Could it be that they help tell a person’s stories, even to one’s self?

These stories employ characters whose motives are intuitive due to recognition within a person of familiar needs. The four needs are risk-taking, mastering something new, individual development and social acceptance.
