Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Indiana State University

E-mail: olli@indstate.edu
OLLI at Indiana State University 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. It is made possible by the substantial support of the Bernard Osher Foundation and Indiana State University. These supporters make it possible for OLLI to offer these unique learning opportunities to residents of the Wabash Valley. Who are OLLI at ISU Members? Our members come from many different backgrounds with one common purpose: they all want to learn. What each member wants to learn differs, of course, which is why OLLI offers an enormous range of topics. But all of the learning takes place in a setting that has no pressure. That is, without tests, grades, and prerequisites. Also, there is no required homework and every aspect of participation is voluntary! In addition, wherever members get together – in classes, for special events, or at weekly presentations—they can meet new people, enjoy casual conversations, and share their experiences and opinions. Membership Best of all, as one member said, “The price is right!” Membership is $40 for one year (September - August) or $20 per semester: Fall (Sept. – Dec.), Winter (Jan. – April), Summer (May – August). Included with OLLI membership are all of the presentations. The cost of special events and additional courses varies. (See “Membership Benefits” for more details) Membership Benefits When you join OLLI, you • Become a part of a vibrant community of engaged and engaging members. • Can attend weekly, one-hour presentations on a wide range of topics from serious to the humorous and from the vital to the frivolous. (All of these presentations are included with membership.) • Are able to participate in local and regional day trips that explore our area’s history and natural beauty. In addition, members receive early notice of longer trips in the United States and abroad. (These trips usually have additional fees.) • Receive weekly e-mail announcements and reminders about OLLI programs as well as community events and ISU programs. • Have access to non-credit short courses taught by community experts as well as faculty from Indiana State, Rose-Hulman and St. Mary-of-the-Woods. The topics are often suggested by the members and include the arts, sciences, history, technology, religion, writing, local and global issues – to name only a few! Membership Policies See page 47 for OLLI policies on privacy, program cancellation, program accessibility, and recordings. 2 OSHER LIFELONG LEARNING INSTITUTE

Why Donate to OLLI
Why OLLI Members Give
“Donating to OLLI is like making a sound investment in my own future, as well as a way of saying, ‘Thank You”
for the wide variety of experiences OLLI continually offers. OLLI has become an amazing part of my life.” — Judy
“OLLI is a shining light in my life. Attend just one class and you’ll see what I mean. I give because OLLI has
earned my support many times over.”—Richard
The OLLI Annual Fund – Why Is It Needed?
Membership fees cover only a portion of the amount OLLI needs to operate. Your contribution means that yearly
membership dues can be kept low as we continue to bring you the high-quality educational programs you’ve
come to expect from OLLI. The annual fund accounts for 7% of the overall budget, and plays an important role
in keeping the budget in balance. In addition, it meets a key requirement of our endowment from the Bernard
Osher Foundation that we engage in fundraising efforts each year.
The Perfect Time to Give
Our heartfelt thanks to all of you who have given so generously in response to our 2020-2021 fundraising efforts.
For those still considering a gift, we would like to challenge you to make the same investment in our institute that
the Osher Foundation and other OLLI members have done by asking you to contribute to the institute that has
become a large part of the lives of individuals in our community. Our goal is to raise $20,000 by August 1, 2022
with fifty percent of our membership contributing. We raised $11,888 in 2020-2021 with thirty percent of the
membership contributing.

An originator of big-band jazz, Duke Ellington was an American
composer, pianist and bandleader who composed thousands of scores
over his 50-year career. Join us for a three session class honoring this
ledgend of jazz.
Duke Ellington Concert
The first session will be a performance of Duke Ellington music
performed by John Spicknall and Joe Deal.
Duke Ellington: American, Composer
Most of us know Duke Ellington to be a major figure in the history of jazz music. His tunes dominate the Great American
Songbook and his ensemble helped define the big-band, dance-hall sound of popular music in 1930s and 40s. But Ellington’s
music often defies easy categorization, from his songs that resist simple pop-song formulas to his extended compositions in more
“classical” styles. This session celebrates the life and work of Duke Ellington as a pianist, composer, and bandleader, and surveys
his diverse musical output, from his jazz standards to his works for symphony orchestra to his Sacred Concerts.
Songs for Duke: The Tribute Poem and Duke Ellington
Writing in praise of the departed or in homage to other forms of art are well-established practices in poetry. These two types of
poetry fuse into a specific subgenre known as the tribute poem, which honors the life and work of an artist. This session will
examine the conventions of the tribute poem and center on a discussion of works that consider the impacts and legacy of Duke
Ellington, one of the foremost jazz musicians, composers, and bandleaders of the twentieth century.

Beloved
Sethe, its protagonist, was born a slave and escaped to Ohio,
but eighteen years later she is still not free. She has too many
memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many
hideous things happened. And Sethe’s new home is haunted
by the ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose
tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved. Filled
with bitter poetry and suspense as taut as a rope, Beloved is
a towering achievement. Beloved weaves a wholly unique
reading experience—part ghost story, part romance, part
domestic drama, part gripping chronicle of enslavement—to
humanize the historical record through the lives of specific
individuals.
