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 WHAT MEMBERS SAY ABOUT OLLI!
Carol Pabst: A good friend of mine had a stroke a few years ago. Gradually, her movements have become more
concentrated. In order to encourage some aerobic exercise without stressing her joints, we joined the water
aerobics course. The ISU arena pool water was very cold, but the warmth of the instructor's smile and the laughter
of all the participants made the class very enjoyable. My friend can no longer drive at night, so the next few
months will be dryer for us. But look out Spring! We will be making some waves!
Brenda Christianson: I truly enjoyed the trip to Lafayette, Indiana, to visit the Haan Mansion with its fine
architecture, furnishings and exquisite art pieces.
Willie Watson: Thanks for giving us a wide variety of programs to choose from. The price for membership &
prices for the programs is certainly fair.
Mike Phillips: I am a retired U.S. History/Government teacher, and particularly enjoyed the OLLI Early Indiana
History, and WWII B-17 classes, as well as the session on the Alaskan native peoples held at Westminster a
couple years ago. Unfortunately I had scheduling conflicts that prevented me from taking Donald Layton's classes
on WWII in Europe, and the class on old Fort Harrison.
Dixie Brown: OLLI has allowed me to explore topics of interest as I gather with old friends, and meet new
people. The subjects are diverse and the presentations are excellent!
Patty Butwin: OLLI at ISU offers great programs for expanding my mind, and keeping me in touch with the
what's happening around campus. I especially enjoy classes with undergraduate students, and programs focused
on Broadway Musicals, Shakespeare's Classics, Politics, and Art/Architecture. Can't wait to see what's in the
Catalog for Winter 2015!
Pat Breault: I became interested in World War II because my father was in it. I went to Dr. Layton's lectures, and
was so impressed, that I took a tour in Europe. I knew next to nothing about World War I so I enrolled in his
lectures for this semester. I left the class wishing I had his notes so I could absorb more of what he had to say.

Water aerobics is a moderate to intense aerobic exercise in
the water that will give you all the great benefits of a cardio
workout with some muscle conditioning and strengthening
without the impact on the joints you get from traditional land
aerobics. It is a flexible class that allows you to work at your
own pace. There are both shallow and deep end exercises but
no swimming is required. Equipment is not provided but, for
added intensity to your workout, you may want to bring
equipment intended for water exercise. Participants must
wear swimsuits. Participants will have use of a locker in the
arena, but will need to bring their own locks.
A Survey of Spies: Looking at
Espionage in Entertainment since
WWII With Chris Berchild, ISU Chairperson,
Department of Theater
Date/Time: Mondays and Wednesdays,
January 12, 21, 26 & February 4, 2015
from 3 - 5 PM
Place: ISU, Cunningham Memorial Library,
Room 028
Cost: $20
Throughout history, there have always been
two stories told about the battles that are
waged between nations—the epic clashes
fought on a grand scale between two (or
more) powers on the field of battle, and the
silent invisible tactics that are waged for
information and leverage in the shadows and
out of public sight. After the close of WWII—the prime
global example of this first style of conflict—the world
engaged in a different kind of war, a Cold War, replete with
espionage, hidden agendas, and unknown players.
This world of secrets and spies became an obsession of
authors and filmmakers in the years since, creating some of
the most memorable and exciting books, films, and television
series of the 20th and 21st centuries. This course, broken
into four parts, will look at works of espionage and
intelligence written and filmed since the close of WWII,
examining works from the spy novels and stories of Ian
Fleming and John le Carré, to the many adventurous films—
including Hitchcock and the much lauded Bond and Bourne
series, to the small screen—from The Avengers and The
Prisoner to today’s The Americans and The Blacklist. Join
Chris Berchild as he walks through the last six decades in an
examination of all things classified yet popular to see the
effects that the Cold War really did have on entertainment!

Social Issues of the 1960’s:
An Intergenerational Dialogue With Lisa Borrero, ISU Assistant Professor of

Do you remember the 60’s? Do young
people understand the profound
societal impact the decade of the 1960’s
had upon U.S. society? This course
brings together OLLI members and
undergraduate students enrolled in
ISU’s “Society and Aging” class for a
collaborative, intergenerational learning experience focusing
on key social issues of the 1960’s. Learners of these two gen-
erations will come together to analyze, discuss, and
reflect upon significant historical events from the decade of
the 60’s in order to shed light on the meaning of these events
to differing age groups and the impact of the events on the
aging experience in the United States. This course is
comprised of four face-to-face meetings that will represent a
cumulative learning experience done in small groups
involving outside research activities, in-class discussions,
and a final presentation. As such, OLLI members interested
in participating should plan to attend each of the four
sessions in order to be part of the complete intergenerational
learning experience.

Great World Religions: Christianity With Reverend Rebecca Zelensky, Central Christian Church
Date/Time: Mondays, February 2, 9, 23, & March 2, 2015
from 3 - 5 PM
Place: ISU, University Hall, Room 212A
Cost: $20
Christianity is the world’s largest religious tradition with
current data claiming 2.1 billion followers worldwide.
Christianity has played a prominent role in shaping Western
civilization and is based on the life, teachings, and death/
resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth who lived in ancient Israel
two thousand years ago.
In this course we will study and discuss the life and ministry
of Jesus, the spread of the early church, how the major
branches of Christianity (Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox,
and Protestant) developed, the various beliefs and practices
of Christians; and major issues and challenges facing
Christian faith communities today.
Why Geography Matters With Dorothy Drummond, Retired Geographic Educator and
World Traveler
Date/Time: Tuesdays, February 10, 17, & 24, 2015
from 2 - 4 PM
Place: ISU, University Hall, Room 208
Cost: $15
Learn about the following interesting
geographical topics with the Great Courses DVD series and
geographical educator Dorothy Drummond.
Session 1
In Language of Maps we will look at how putting a round
earth on flat paper makes map-makers have to distort reality.
In looking at maps, we need to get into the mind of the
mapmaker. Then we will discuss Does Geography Determine
Destiny? Does where we live tend to shape how we think and
act? Does growing up near the sea, the mountains, in the
tropics, in cities, in small towns in a tribal culture, in a deep-
ly religious community determine a person’s destiny?
Session 2
The Human Footprint will talk about how there is almost no
pristine environment that human activity has not been
continually changed on the earth’s surface. Climate Change
and Civilization will explain how past civilizations reveal
changes in the environment and how our current
civilization, in particularly our heavy use of fossil fuel, is
influencing our global climate and raising questions about
how humans will adapt.
Session 3
5. Land Change, Past and Present will probe the issue of
behind global land change, such as rapid urbanization. The
End of Global Population Growth will look at how there are
more than seven billion people on the earth today.
Exponential growth in the past hundred years holds urgent
implications for sustainability. Yet human population growth
will likely end before 2050, and slowing population growth
may present new challenges.

February 26 with Christopher Olsen
This overview of the causes and course of the Civil War focuses on several important themes throughout the era, including race
and race relations, state and federal relations, and politics in the Union. It concludes with a brief look at the most important
consequences and legacies of the Civil War era.
March 5 with James Buffington
On April 27, 1865, the Steamboat Sultana was steaming northward on the swollen waters of the Mississippi River. The Civil War
was just over, and thousands of Union prisoners of war were making their way home. On board the Sultana were thousands of
these former prisoners. In the wee hours of the morning just north of Memphis, Tennessee, a boiler on the Sultana exploded. This
explosion resulted in the greatest maritime disaster in United States history. This presentation reveals the unfortunate chain of
events resulting in the sinking of the steamboat and the part played by Indiana in this largely forgotten tragedy.
March 12 with Charles Fisher
The Sisters of Providence had a significant role during the Civil War. This presentation is part of the Indiana History Series and
will open up a chapter of that history that helped numerous families and soldiers at the bequest of Governor Oliver Morton. The
Civil War also took a toll on the Sisters' School (Academy), the students and their families.
March 19 with Marlene Lu
Slaves came through Indiana heading north to seek their freedom. How and where did they go? Many know about the route along
the eastern border of the state. Join in as we explore the routes of the Underground Railroad through west central Indiana.

Astronomy With Holly Hudson, Terre Haute South High School Science
Teacher/Planetarium Director
Date/Time: Thursdays, March 12, 19, & 26, 2015
from 6 - 7:30 PM
Place: Terre Haute South High School,
Allen Memorial Planetarium 3737 S Seventh Street
Cost: $15
Observing Basics: Stars, Planets, and
Our Moon
Reacquaint yourself with the night sky or
come as a first time observer to learn how
to find constellations and other celestial
objects with the unaided eye. We will
discuss the yearly, monthly, and daily cycles of objects in the
sky. Come and learn how to use a star chart so that you can
take it home and continue the exploration. A reminder, at the
Planetarium we bring up the stars to simulate the night sky,
we are not an observatory with telescopes.
We Know We Are Not Alone, But Are We Unique?
If solar systems are a natural byproduct of a star’s formation,
then there should be other solar systems in our galaxy. We
will explore how solar systems form, take a look at new and
exciting findings in our own solar system and then provide an
update on the over 1,500 planets orbiting around other
nearby stars.
The Life Cycle of Stars from Birth to Death
Stars, like everything else, have a beginning and an end.
Come learn how stars are born, how they live out their lives,
the interesting stars they become along the way, and how in
the process of their deaths they seed the Universe with the 92
naturally occurring elements that make up planets and life. As
Carl Sagan use to say, “We are star dust.” Come and find out
how and why.
Southern Fiction and
Southern Issues With Caroline Carvill, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology

Shawn Phillips, ISU Associate Professor of Anthropology
Date/Time: Thursdays, April 2, 9, & 16, 2015
from 2 - 4 PM
Place: ISU, University Hall Room 208
Cost: $15
We hear in the news about plagues and pandemics but do we
really know the difference or if there is a difference? A
plague is a pandemic but a pandemic is not always a plague.
In this class we will be talking about plagues that are highly
infectious, usually fatal, diseases. We won’t be covering
plagues of locusts or other calamities. Pandemics can also
be plagues and are instances where diseases spread quickly
and affect a large number of people.
We will explore the differences, the histories of each, some
common diseases linked to them, and ways to prevent,
diagnose, and treat them. We will also learn how they can be
used as weapons of mass destruction.

Ancient Rome With Marvin Susott MA in History
Date/Time: Mondays, April 13, 20, & 27, 2015
from 6:30 - 8:30 PM
Place: ISU, University Hall Room 103
Cost: $15
Ancient Rome was an Italic civilization that began on the Italian Peninsula as early as the 8th century BC. Located along the
Mediterranean Sea and centered on the city of Rome, it expanded to become one of the largest empires in the ancient world with
an estimated 50 to 90 million inhabitants. In its approximately 12 centuries of existence, Roman civilization shifted from a
monarchy to a classical republic and then to an increasingly autocratic empire. Through conquest and assimilation, it came to
dominate Southern and Western Europe, Asia Minor, North Africa, and parts of Northern and Eastern Europe. Rome was
preponderant throughout the Mediterranean region and was one of the most powerful entities of the ancient world. It is often
grouped into "Classical Antiquity" together with ancient Greece, and their similar cultures and societies are known as the
Greco-Roman world.
Join other OLLI members as we learn about the culture of ancient Rome with Marvin Susott, and then in the following two
sessions take a brief look at Roman Structures and Greco-Roman Art. Both topics will be part of the Great Courses collection
OLLI owns.

During Dr. Speer’s Sabbatical in 2014, he
traveled through 12 countries giving talks on
tree-ring research and sustainability at
Universities throughout Europe, Australia,
and New Zealand. He studied tree rings to reconstruct
environmental variable.
His wife is an archaeologist, so during these travels they
visited many archaeological sites and he thought about what
they were seeing in the context of the lifetime of the trees.
He was amazed at the development of culture and language
in Mycenae in Greece which was active 3,500 years ago, but
then he thought about some individual trees that he worked
with that had more than 4,000 rings which put human
cultural development in the temporal context of his work.
This talk will be a pictorial tour viewing many
archaeological sites, architecture from some of the major
European cities, and nature. From this perspective it seems
clear that we need to live in balance with nature and develop
more sustainable solutions to the way that we live so he will
end with some sustainable solutions that are being promoted
in the different countries.

Ukraine: Past, Present, and Future With Barbara Skinner, ISU Associate Professor of History
Date/Time: Wednesday, April 22, 2015
from 1:30 - 3 PM
Place: Westminster Village
1120 E. Davis Drive, Terre Haute
One year ago, Ukraine blasted onto front pages of
newspapers around the world with mass demonstrations that
led to the ouster of pro-Russian President Yanukovich. In
March 2014, Russian President Putin's military forces laid
claim to Crimea and began to stoke hostilities in the
coal-mining region of the Donbass, leading to a civil war. Dr.
Barbara Skinner, a specialist in Russian and East European
history, will outline the relevant history behind the crisis in
Ukraine and assess the current situation in its political,
economic, social, and cultural ramifications. Dr. Skinner has
carried out scholarly research in both Ukraine and Russia and
will bring her on-the-ground observations into her analysis of
the situation.

The Environmental Impact of
Industrialization Along the
Wabash River, A History With Lisa Phillips, ISU Associate
Professor of History
Date/Time: Thursday, March 26, 2015
from 1:30 - 3 PM
Place: Vigo County Public Library, Main
Branch, Meeting Room A
The Wabash River holds a central place in Indiana’s History.
A major waterway, the “waapaasiiki” was the mode by which
goods and people were transported across the area from the
days when, as its name indicates, it was “clear” and pristine
to a low period when it was deemed un-swimmable, its fish
too contaminated for human consumption. Lisa Phillips,
Associate Professor of History, and Indiana State History
Majors will discuss the history that helps to explain this
deterioration. While much of the explanation involves the
long history of industrialization and its consequences, just as
interesting are the ways in which people understood
“pollution” over the centuries.
The Quest of Mattie Ross: True Grit
as Hero and Travel Literature With Mike Lunsford, Author
Date/Time: Tuesday, March 24, 2015
from 3 - 4:30 PM
Place: Westminster Village
1120 E. Davis Drive, Terre Haute
Join local author Mike Lunsford as he discusses the young
heroine, Mattie Ross, and her place in the American literary
tradition on March 24 at 3 pm at Westminster Village. The
program is in partnership with OLLI and the “Wabash
Valley Community Read.” True Grit is, perhaps above all, a
book about the making of heroes and the journeys they
undertake. Mike will discuss both their story and the role of
the journey in our own lives.
The author of four books, Mike writes “The Off Season,” a
human interest column for the Terre Haute Tribune-Star and
has taught high school English, American History, and Hu-
manities for 36 years.

Page 40 History - The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Indiana State University (OLLI at ISU) offered its first adult programs in 1997
as the Dewey Institute for Lifelong Learning. At that time, the all-volunteer organization was – by necessity – small. However,
as the Institute became more and more popular, it outgrew its “all volunteer” capabilities: the members needed to hire a full-time
director. But where could they find the money to pay a director’s salary? Fortunately, in 2006 they discovered that the Bernard
Osher Foundation was providing one-year grants of $100,000 to lifelong learning institutes that could demonstrate that they met
its extensive and thoughtful criteria. After receiving these $100,000 grants for three consecutive years, the foundation invited
Indiana State to apply for a $1,000,000 endowment. After intense work by a hard-working and devoted committee, those funds
were awarded in 2010.
Value - Why join and support OLLI at ISU? Participation in OLLI affords each member with opportunities to experience a wide
variety of stimulating programs, social interaction and lifelong learning activities that enrich each member’s life.
Additional Support - The Bernard Osher Foundation requires that the funds from the endowment be invested. Consequently,
OLLI at ISU must operate on the income from the investments. OLLI at ISU receives 5% (approximately $50,000) of the market
value of the endowment each year. Although this requirement ensures that lifelong learning at ISU will continue in perpetuity, the
net effect is that the current income ($50,000) is one-half of the income from the original grants ($100,000). To maintain OLLI at
ISU’s current level of programs, please consider making a tax-deductible donation. All funds are used to offset daily costs and
underwrite lectures, courses and special events.
Contributions to the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Indiana State University are appreciated and are key to ensuring our
continued operation. These donations are tax-deductible and will be used by the organization to help increase programming, offset
daily costs, and underwrite the cost of special events.
Please make checks payable to the Indiana State University Foundation and fill out the form below, or call
812-541-8400.
