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 Road
Scholar (Elderhostel Institute Network).
Mission Statement
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is a forum for adults of all academic and economic backgrounds
to learn about a wide variety of subjects they find interesting and engaging.

Page 3 THE FACES OF OLLI
Page 4 Mary Jo Brown - The classes and trips I have enjoyed over the years since becoming a member of OLLI have been stimulating,
challenging, and most of all, fun! From architectural tours to Shakespeare, glass blowing, history, wine tasting, intergenerational
discussions, and dinners celebrating other cultures, the class choices for members continue to amaze and delight me. Not only are we
learning new things, but we also meet and engage with new and interesting people. We have all of the fun and none of the angst with
tests! OLLI enriches and adds zest to my life.
Michael Mueller - The thing I enjoy most about OLLI is, it helps me learn about things I didn't even know I would like to learn
about. The programs are so diverse. One day I'm watching a great video featuring the Hubble telescope, another evening I'm learning
why it is so difficult to convert tribal communities to a nation state in Afghanistan. Then I'm doing a mystery writers book
discussion, or going to classes that were connected to the PBS series on Shakespeare's kings’ plays. Next I'm going to an
Intergenerational Aging class, discussing with 20-year-old ISU students, what it is like to reach retirement age, and the outlook
beyond. And don't forget the Hitchcock movie themes class or the watercolors painting class I took or the live discussion with the
Smithsonian docent on American History through paintings. It never ends. The OLLI program at ISU has been a great, broadening
experience for me.
Melody Brown - OLLI has been a fantastic addition to my life as an educational resource, social outlet and inspiration. I moved
across the country to Terre Haute knowing only two family members here, leaving my friends, job and comfort zone. Various OLLI
courses and lectures have introduced me to the Wabash Valley and Indiana. My passions of gardening, literature and art have been
enhanced while new learnings have inspired me to explore topics of unknown areas. New friends met through the membership have
been key to my successful transition. OLLI at ISU is a valued part of my life and a very important part of the Wabash Valley.
Bobbi McPeak - OLLI is a wonderful clearinghouse of everything vital to intellectual growth and stimulation in the Wabash Valley
and beyond. Do yourself a favor, and become a member of this enthusiastic organization which just keeps hitting home runs,
bringing its members consistently good programming across a wide range of interests.
Ruth Erickson - Let OLLI be your 'connector' to friends, events and new adventures. So much to do and so many new people to
meet!!
Pat Creasey - OLLI serves many good purposes and I would encourage membership to everyone who wants to participate in
exciting, encouraging, educational activities and happy times. It's my pleasure to be a part of OLLI. Even though I don't have time to
attend many programs, OLLI membership ensures that there is always something on my calendar to provide pleasure, education and
perhaps new friendships.
Chris Schellenberg - I retired in April and enjoy having more time to travel. Using my OLLI discount, I took advantage of a
Photoshop class to enhance my travel pictures. I enjoy learning and OLLI gives me plenty of opportunities!
Pearl & Richard Kyrouac - OLLI gives you the opportunity to come together as a group and learn more about your community, its
history through a variety of topics and programs from experts. It presents topics that are current and historical and at times exciting.
You also get the opportunity to voice your opinion and ask questions at the sessions. Activities and trips are varied and encompass a
variety of interests.
Join the Conversations, Fun, and Learning with OLLI at ISU!!

Media Evolution With Joe Tenerelli, ISU Emeritus
Professor of Communications
Date/Time: May 13, 20, & 27, 2014
from 10 AM - 12 PM
Place: ISU University Hall, Room 201
Cost: $15
Media theorist Marshall McLuhan noted, “Societies have
always been shaped more by the nature of the media by
which men communicate than by the content of the
communication.” This class is going to discuss the changing
economics, regulation and technology that have made
modern media what it is today.
Indiana History: The Beginning With Walt Gray, Indiana Geological Survey; Jane Creedon,
Director of the Native American Museum at Dobbs Park;
David Nichols, ISU Associate Professor of History
Date/Time: Thursdays, May 22, 29 & June 5, 2014
from 2-4 PM
Place: ISU University Hall, Room 201
Cost: $15
Join OLLI on a journey through the past. This is the first
class in a series about the history of Indiana. This first class
will focus on the beginning of Indiana starting with how it
formed geologically to the first people that inhabited the area
and then to the introduction of European colonization.
May 22 - Walt Gray will discuss the clues
necessary to make inferences about the
progression of events that have shaped Indiana.
From submergence below a shallow inland sea
to the advancement of glacial ice that covered
the majority of state surface area, the geologic
history of the Hoosier State greatly influences
our society and the current economic resources
available to us.
May 29 - Jane Creedon will look at the
ancient residents of Indiana (the Mound
Dwellers), then talk about the natives of
the historic period and their relations
with each other, and finally end with a
discussion of their daily lives.
June 5 - David Nichols will focus on the
introduction of the Europeans to the area (fur
trades, military, early pioneers), which one
might call the Imperial era of Indiana's history
(roughly 1680 to 1815).

Museum Masterpieces:
The Metropolitan Museum of Art With Harriet McNeal, ISU Emeritus
Professor of Art History
Date/Time: Tuesdays, June 3, 10, 17, & 24, 2014
from 2 - 4 PM
Place: ISU University Hall, Room 202
Cost: $15
Have you ever been to the Metropolitan
Museum of Art? If not, here is your chance to
view great works of art without traveling to
New York. This course is the start of a new
series that will take you to some of the great museums of the
world. We will watch DVD presentations from The Great
Courses series, Museum Masterpieces, and then have a
discussion about the art we have viewed.
The Art of Ancient Greece and Rome
We begin our tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the
Greek and Roman galleries, which reveal classical art in all of
its complexity and resonance. Works we will examine will be
selected from mediums of ancient art including ceramics,
stone, bronze, gold, stucco, and some paintings.
European Painting—The Renaissance
In this section we will investigate the birth of figural
illusionism in the 14th century. We will also cover the
traditions of Renaissance painting in the 15th century, with
focus on portraiture and the innovation oil painting.
Robert Lehman Collection 1400-1800
The Robert Lehman Collection is one of the most
distinguished privately assembled art collections in the
United States. We will take a look at pieces by Botticelli,
Christus, El Greco, Rembrandt, and others.
European Sculpture
The Metropolitan European sculpture collection includes
Renaissance works in stone, bronze, and terra cotta. We will
cover the rise of sculpture in the 15th century, and its
competition with painting.
Great Decisions With Mike Chambers, ISU Professor of Political Science;
Robert Hunter, ISU Professor Emeritus of History;
James Gustafson, ISU Assistant Professor History
Date/Time: TBA
Place: TBA
Cost: $15
Great Decisions is America's largest
discussion program on world affairs. The
program involves reading an article about
the chosen topics and having a discussion
led by an academic leader with knowledge
on that specific topic. Join other OLLI
members as we tackle critical issues facing the U.S.
China’s Foreign Policy - Mike Chambers
China has emphasized the “peaceful” nature of its meteoric
rise. Yet few dispute that China is the dominant regional
power in Asia – and in recent years Beijing began to flex its
muscles regionally in order to advance its strategic interests.
What does the rapid rise of this new superpower mean for
other countries in the region, and are there potential points of
conflict with the U.S. as it “pivots” to Asia?
Israel and the U.S. - Robert Hunter
Modern Israel’s struggles with the Palestinians have turned
what was meant as a safe haven for Jews into the center of a
decades-long conflict. The U.S. has stepped in as Israel’s ally
providing years of unparalleled military and diplomatic
support. Now this 65-year-old special relationship is being
tested by the Arab Spring, Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and
failed peace talks.
Iran - James Gustafson
Suspicion and a troubled history have blighted U.S.-Iranian
relations for three decades. How can the United States and
Iran move forward? Is the existence of Iran’s nuclear
program an insurmountable obstacle?

Great World Religions With Discussion Coordinator Charles Fisher
Date/Time: Thursdays, June 12, 19, & 26, 2014 from 2 - 4 PM
Place: ISU University Hall, Room 202
Cost: $15
Gain a deeper understanding of the world’s spiritual beliefs. Great World Religions will be a brief look at the five major faiths of
the world. It is the beginning of a new series that will give an in-depth examination of each of these five major faiths of the world.
We will look at two faiths per session by viewing brief DVD presentations from The Great Courses series and then have a
discussion about the faiths. Discussions will be facilitated by Charles Fisher, retired social worker.
Christianity - This first lecture introduces Christianity by locating it among other world religions and
providing basic facts: its number of adherents, their geographical distribution, the variety of lifestyles they
follow, and the length and complexity of its history. Christianity is compared to other major religious
traditions with respect to its founder, form of community, sacred texts, doctrine, ritual, moral code, and
mysticism.
Buddhism - During its 2,500-year history, Buddhism has grown from a tiny religious community in northern
India into a movement that now spans the globe. This lecture describes its influences, the ways it is not a
religion, and its practitioners' ultimate goal.
Islam - The diversity of cultural and religious practices of Islam is reflected by the geographic expanse of
the Muslim world. Islam's more than 1 billion followers live in 56 countries around the world, yet many in
the West know little about it and are familiar only with the actions of a minority of radical extremists. This
lecture outlines the second-largest and fastest-growing of the world's religions, which is part of the
religious landscape of America and Europe, and has had a significant impact on world affairs.
Judaism - The goal of this course is to present Judaism as it is perceived by its adherents and practitioners.
This opening lecture attempts a definition, or essence, of Judaism. The beliefs, practices, attitudes, and
institutions of Jews through the ages evince a striking diversity, yet all would ascribe to a common heritage.
Hinduism - Reflection on the subject and the methods used to examine it are very important when one
begins the study of Hinduism, a very old and complex religion. This inaugural lecture describes how
Hinduism will be studied in this series. We examine the words "Hinduism," "religion," and "India,"
discussing why they are problematic yet useful for the study of our subject.

Page 45 OLLI CANCELLATION POLICIES
Adverse Weather Policy
If the ISU Campus is closed due to adverse weather conditions, OLLI programs are also
canceled. If you are registered for a program you will be notified by phone or e-mail about
the rescheduled program date. If OLLI presentations are canceled, an email will be sent out
and a notice will be on the Program Administrator’s voicemail at 812-237-2336. The
easiest way to determine if your class or trip has been canceled is to call the OLLI offices
at 812-237-2345. Campus closures are also announced by local media.
Program Cancellation
Although highly unlikely, a program may be canceled due to under-enrollment or some
other circumstance beyond the Institute’s control. Members will be notified of a
cancellation and have the option of a credit to their account or a refund.
A cancellation must be made three days prior to the date of the program to receive a refund
or credit. Trip cancellations must be made one week prior to a day-trip to receive a refund
or credit. If we can fill your seat for a day-trip, you will receive a full credit. You will be
charged for any program you have not cancelled in the stated time.

Page 46 OLLI AS THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH?
Dear OLLI Members and Supporters,
One of the things that Sue and I appreciate about our OLLI membership is not only meeting and
sharing with people we’ve known for years, but also with the new friends we’ve made through
OLLI. Whether it’s a Wednesday presentation, a class or a tour, OLLI allows us to expand our
horizons and meet new people. To be honest, OLLI has played a central role in my life since my
retirement, and I hope it will continue to do so for a long, long time.
I know you’ve read of the need to “Support the Legacy of OLLI,” and that’s certainly the case.
The Steering Committee has made every effort to keep OLLI’s annual membership fee as
reasonable as possible. Quite frankly, when you take into account all that OLLI offers, it is the
best deal in the Wabash Valley! Most of the time so-called “Legacy Giving” is a longer-term
approach…remembering OLLI in your financial planning and wills. But there is a constant
need for additional shorter-term support as well.
I am encouraging you to do what Sue and I have done, and include in your registration a
donation to OLLI at ISU. It’s that simple. Your tax-deductible donation will help offset OLLI’s
daily operational expenses. In short, support of OLLI beyond your annual membership allows
us not only to maintain, but to grow as well!
You might be asking yourself, what does all of this have to do with OLLI being like the
Fountain of Youth? Well, I have long believed the sage advice of Henry Ford who noted,
“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning
stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.” So keep your mind young,
support OLLI. Let your legacy be one not only of membership, invest in yourself and
your/OLLI’s future…like Sue and I, you’ll be glad you did!
