The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (UDOLLI) began 28 years ago as the University of Dayton Institute for Learning in Retirement or UDILR. Since 2004, we have been proud members of the Osher Lifelong Learning Network, a group of more than 100 institutes across the country dedicated to meeting the needs of adult learners over 50 years of age who wish to gather for the joy of learning and personal fulfillment.

OUR MISSION STATEMENTThe purpose of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Dayton is to offer adults 50 years or better a wide variety of seminars based on the peer-learning concept and designed to be intellectually stimulating in an informal and noncompetitive environment.

We are a vibrant communityWe are adults with wide-ranging interests in art, current events, health and fitness, history, literature, music, religion and science. A curriculum committee works with the Executive Director of Special Programs and Continuing Education to select our curriculum on the basis of member requests, the expertise of moderators, variety, and balance. Moderators include University of Dayton (UD) professors and community professionals who lead peer-to-peer informal lecture and discussion seminars that typically meet once a week for two hours, for three to eight weeks.

Our seminars are noncreditThere are neither tests nor grades, nor educational requirements. Participation is essential, ranging from keeping up with assigned readings and contributing to seminar discussion to sharing the results of one’s own research. A majority of our seminars are held on the University of Dayton River Campus in Daniel J. Curran Place, 1700 South Patterson; others are on the UD main campus with a few at off-site locations, such as the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery. The map on page 53 identifies the location of Daniel J. Curran Place and other UD buildings.

UDOLLI is a cooperative ventureWe rely on the contributions and participation, both in seminars and out, of each member. Members assist the Executive Director of Special Programs and Continuing Education by moderating seminars, coordinating lecture series, leading small group discussions, organizing activities and volunteer projects, serving on the board of advisors and committees, acting as seminar liaisons, helping in the office and volunteering for all other tasks that keep us going.

Once you register for a seminar, you automatically become a UDOLLI participating member for the current academic year.

Nightmare Behind the Wheel: More Auto Drama in Black and White NEWThis seminar follows one given in the UDOLLI Winter Term 2021. With that earlier seminar we explored four late 1950s and early 1960s classic black and white television series where automobiles played central roles in every episode.This time out we’ll view and discuss six classic film noir movies where cars were front and center in the action. By the end of these films you’ll likely remember the cars just as much as the actors and maybe even wake from a bad dream wondering what unhinged person was hiding in the back seat. Wailing sirens, screeching tires and the crack of gunshots from and into car windows mark the celestial territory of much film noir. In such movies cars frequently represented the propulsive aspirations of folks who turned to crimes like bank robberies, oddly embodying the idea of social mobility through the automobile.Directors in the genre’s heyday — from the early ‘40s to the late ‘50s — often thought their vehicles carried immense symbolism, holding up a mirror to their drivers. Rainy streets, black blacks, one source of light — the movies are stylized and the cars were too. In these films automobiles figuratively cried out: “‘I’m dangerous. I can go really fast. And frankly, I don’t give a damn.’”We will view and discuss six classic film noirs: “Detour” (1945); “They Live by Night” (1948); “Gun Crazy” (1950); “Hitchhiker” (1953); “The Fast and the Furious” (1955); and “The Great Saint Louis Bank Robbery” (1959), the latter starring the first on-screen appearance of the late Steve McQueen. Additionally, we’ll view several short features that will offer critical commentary on these critically acclaimed film noirs.6 Mondays, September 19-October 2412:30-2:30 p.m., Daniel J. Curran PlaceDr. Ed Garten has developed and moderated 16 original seminars for UDOLLI. Among his seminars, many focused on various aspects of American automobile culture, a seminar on the history of American higher education, one on Dayton-native and legendary comedian Jonathan Winters, another on the literature of American “road trips” and another on the rise and decline of General Motors. His most recent seminar explored the history of the Volkswagen Beetle and brought smiles to the faces of many in class who owned a Beetle back in the day.

Sam’s Favorite TV Westerns NEWFor the fall, Sam decided to change it up a bit and offer a seminar on his favorite TV westerns of the 1950s and 1960s. His favorites were “Maverick,” “Cheyenne” and “Have Gun, Will Travel.” Each seminar session will feature three or four different western TV shows. In many cases, he was able to obtain Series 1, Episode 1. As Sam puts it, this will be a “viewing type” seminar … so there will be minor chit-chat from him … he can hear the applause already. Ten minutes before each seminar begins, there will be three videos of famous or not so famous western songs. Come early to watch.6 Mondays, September 19-October 2412:30-2:30 p.m., Daniel J. Curran PlaceThis will be Sam Kurtz’s 15th seminar for UDOLLI, and the first not about music. Sam remembers sitting down with is dad and watching a lot of westerns. This is a good memory for him, since Sam Kurtz II passed away when Sam III was 15 years old.


Civil Discourse and How to Achieve ItAre you afraid to talk with family and friends about politics, religion and other cultural issues? We are hard-wired to be set in our views about what we consider important issues and values. This is an interactive seminar/workshop. We will cover such topics as American political discourse from past to present; the media: mis-information, dis-information and fake news; how our brains work; and listening techniques. To achieve civil discourse, three key elements are required: 1) show respect and don’t judge 2) ask open-ended questions and 3) listen to understand. In the third session we will practice using these communication tools in one-on-one and small group exercises.3 Mondays, September 19-October 312:30-2:30 p.m., Daniel J. Curran PlaceThis is Tim Hrastar’s 38th UDOLLI seminar presentation. He has been actively involved in UDOLLI since 2005.

He is a past president of the UDOLLI Board of Advisors and currently a consultant to the Board.Tim spent his career as a self-employed communication and business development consultant, coach and facilitator for professional service firms — focusing on the legal profession; as well as an audio-visual writer–producer–director of corporate programs and conferences. He holds B.A. and M.A. degrees in communication from the University of Dayton.

Greatest Speeches in American HistoryEach session will feature analysis of powerful speeches by iconic individuals in American history. We will examine the historical context, the literary style, and the immediate and long-term impact of each speech. We will discuss those qualities that have defined the significance of each speech. We will look at the historical context, the audience and the orator as well as the crafting of each. Whenever possible, the lectures will be enriched with copies of the speech, audio/visual clips and photographic references. Finally, we may ask ourselves what, in these historical epistles, we may learn to help us evaluate contemporary public speaking. 6 Mondays, September 19-October 2412:30-2:30 p.m., ZOOMGregory Gibson is a retired Presbyterian minister and trial attorney.

We’ll learn how both the acoustic and electric guitars actually work. We’ll develop an appreciation for the brilliance of the great virtuosos in all fields of guitar playing.

Her dream about an advanced degree brought her to Manhattan, KS, where she received her master’s degree in grain science. Then she went to University of Illinois and obtained her Ph.D. in agricultural and biological engineering, and she also holds an M.B.A. from University of Dayton. Dr. Yang currently works as a principal research scientist at Cargill. As a native Chinese, Ping is very passionate about her cultural heritage.

The Opioid Drug Crisis — Understanding and InterventionThis is a seminar-type discussion of the opioid overdose epidemic. We will present the underlying causes of the crisis; the nature of addiction and its treatment; the personal, social and economic costs of our War on Drugs, and how other states and countries have attacked the problem. We will present a comprehensive plan to eliminate OD deaths and give people their lives back. This plan is already gaining support across several statehouses, within the halls of Congress, as well as in other countries. After 50 years we have to stop doubling down on failure. Get the information. Be part of the solution.


6 Tuesdays, September 20-October 256-8 p.m., Daniel J. Curran PlaceWilbur Brooks, M.D. is a retired family practice physician with 39 years of experience. He has dealt with persons struggling with addiction both in his practice and in his personal life. He has seen the devastating toll of drug criminalization on peoples’ lives and feels it is long past time for a new approach. Drug addiction is a disease that, like any disease, involves individual choices. That ability to make choices is itself impaired by the disease. Punishment of those choices is not the answer but rather the problem. The focus of management should be on comprehensive programs of prevention, harm reduction and treatment. Laws that interfere with that should be changed or eliminated. Money to support these goals needs to be appropriated at all levels of government. Bill Ebben has a B.S. in psychology and a master’s degree in special education with emphasis and experience teaching learning disabled and emotionally disturbed students K-12. Bill also served as an adjunct professor in mathematics and teacher training. Bill earned his law degree from Chase College of Law. Bill lost his son to a fentanyl overdose two years ago after an eight-year struggle with addiction. Working through the problem with his son, Bill learned in the most painful and frustrating way that our current punishment model, the War on Drugs, provides very little assistance to addicts and the criminalization of drugs hinders treatment by removing the element of hope that is a prerequisite to success in any treatment program. By moving from a punishment paradigm to treating addiction as a public health problem we will save huge amounts of money currently being wasted on interdiction, adjudication and incarceration.Gordon Taylor is retired with an M.S. in chemistry. He has studied the drug abuse problem for more than 15 years. He has no professional standing in either medicine or drug addiction treatment. He is a volunteer member of the local Montgomery County Community Overdose Action Team as an observer. He has a bias toward eliminating the federal and state legislation supporting the War on Drugs and treating addiction as a medical condition, but welcomes all ideas on approaches to an effective and politically acceptable solution to the problem.

Effective Communication With Your Healthcare Provider Will Result in Better Care for You NEWThis seminar is designed to help you communicate more effectively with your doctor or other health care provider which in turn should lead to better health care for you. Poor communication can be frustrating and lead to misunderstandings and misinformation. While there are factors that are beyond a patient’s control (such as the time constraint of an office visit) there are many factors which a patient can control. What is the best way to request a second opinion? How can you prepare for a routine examination to make the most of your visit? Should you take someone with you to a pre-op consultation? Participants will be asked to send their own questions or previous issues in advance of the seminar if they wish.Seminar Limit: 251 Tuesday, October 116-8 p.m., ZOOMRobert A. Goldenberg, MD retired in 2019 after 43 years of medical practice (surgery of the ear) in Dayton and as chair of the department of Otolaryngology (ENT) at Wright State University’s Boonshoft School of Medicine.

War Between Ukraine and Russia and Its Consequences NEW As history unfolds before us, Vladimir Putin is the dictator of a brutal Russian police state. A dictatorship presiding over a rapidly collapsing economy. A dictatorship engaged in a vicious invasion of Ukraine, with escalating costs to the Kremlin and the Russian people. A telling exposure of systemic Russian military weakness. How did this happen? What might come next: A Turning Point in Russian Imperial History?1 Tuesday, October 256-8 p.m., ZOOMDr. Elmo E.

Open to all interested adult singers and requiring no audition, the Chorus sings a diverse repertoire of both sacred and secular choral literature, with an emphasis on American music. Founded in 2003 as the Schuster Center Celebration Choir, the organization was first sponsored by the Victoria Theatre Association.

Performance venues have included the Schuster Center for the Performing Arts, Courthouse Square Grande Illumination, Kroc Center, Dayton Art Institute, Victoria Theatre, The Greene, UD Arena, Fifth Third Field, and various churches and retirement communities. Chorus members have enjoyed performance opportunities with the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra’s Holiday Festival Community Chorus, the UD New Horizons Band, the Miami Valley Symphony, and various guest artists and conductors.

For registration information, please visit: Udayton.edu/continuing_education/noncredit_offerings/daytoncelebrationchorus/.

NEW HORIZONS MUSICLearn to play music in a band as a senior adult—even if you have no musical experience! Playing music is a special joy that will help you maintain mental and physical health. It is also a way of experiencing life—playing music from the past keeps us in touch with those feelings; daily practice keeps us active in the present; and striving for new goals attaches us to the future. One band member describes it as “serious fun.”

As a member of New Horizons Music, you will meet new friends and work with them as a team to learn music for concerts and other performances in the community. New Horizons ensembles typically perform many times each year in venues ranging from formal concerts to shopping malls and from parks to retirement and nursing homes.

UD New Horizons Music offers adults 50 years of age or better the opportunity to begin a musical instrument and provides a re-entry point for those who have been away from active music making for many years. Instruments taught include: flute, oboe, bassoon, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, French horn, trombone, baritone, tuba and percussion.

Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Dayton

CONNECTING GENERATIONS & CULTURES A TALENT BANK & CLEARING HOUSE PROGRAM With age comes experience and wisdom that can be priceless when shared with others

1. What Is This Program About? The UDOLLI Connecting Generations & Cultures (CGC) program connects UDOLLI to the Dayton area community utilizing our vibrant, highly educated, experienced and talented members. Connecting Generations & Cultures is a Talent Bank & Clearing House program for community organizations. We put your talents to work by connecting you to organizations to help carry out their mission. As members of our program, many of you are ready and anxious to share your decades of knowledge, experience and wisdom with those who can benefit.

2. Connecting Criteria The CGC program has been reaching out to various community groups, and many have reached out to us. We connect to organizations that meet any one of these criteria: is it educational, cultural, civic, social, governmental, inter-generational? Can our members and the organization’s members contribute to and benefit from the connection experience? As opportunities come along we promote them to UDOLLI members. Check out our connected organizations at right. Let us know of any organizations you feel would make a good connection with our program.*

*NOTE: A recommendation is no guarantee we will make a connection. We carefully review every idea to ensure it fits within UDOLLI’s mission and the objectives of the Connecting Generations & Cultures program. Our Executive Director makes all final decisions. All UDOLLI members involved with any Connecting Generations & Cultures program must understand and accept that they represent the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Dayton and must adhere to all rules and regulations that may apply to the University and our program.

3. Connecting You Here’s how we get you connected. We communicate an organization’s needs in a variety of ways: email, newsletter, seminar announcements, special presentations and promotional flyers. You’ll learn about the organization, decide if you’re interested and then you reach out to the organization’s contact directly. You are then on your way to a new adventure.

Your connection could be for a single project or an ongoing program. For example, you could share your ideas during a creative planning session or work with the organization on a regular basis to carry on their mission. There may be several of your fellow UDOLLI members involved in the same activity, or it might be just you. Whatever project or organization you get involved with, you will meet new friends and perhaps build lifelong relationships. You may even find that a connection can be life changing. You may be a senior, but you’re not done yet! You can share your years of experience and wisdom to make our community a better place.

4. Our Connected Partners The following list includes all organizations to-date we have connected with since the inception of CGC in 2013. With some of our connections our members have been deeply involved working on a variety of projects, while with others we are just getting started in making deeper connections. The connection may currently be active or inactive. Our members have contributed their expertise in a variety of ways: teaching, mentoring, donating, facilitating deliberation discussions, and facilitating creative and strategic planning sessions.
