        LIFELONG
       LEARNING
                     WELCOME TO THE OSHER LIFELONG LEARNING
       INSTITUTE
                     INSTITUTE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON

              The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (UDOLLI) began 26 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 STATEMENT
              The 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 community
              We 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 four to eight weeks. The
              summer session is two one-day sessions, three lunch-and-learns and three online seminars.
              Our seminars are noncredit
              There 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.
              UDOLLI is a cooperative venture
              We 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.
              Becoming a member of UDOLLI is easy
              Registering for seminars is simple and convenient. Pages 14 and 15 give complete registration
              information and procedures. Once you register for a seminar, you automatically become a
              UDOLLI participating member for the current academic year. The term of membership
              conforms to the academic calendar, beginning in September and ending in June.

SUMMER SEMINARS
    HOW HAS COVID-19 IMPACTED US?
    What has been the impact of COVID-19 on your life? Every one of us can easily answer that question
    individually. Our daily lives have changed — we have had to social distance, wear a mask, wash our
    hands constantly, isolate, possibly experience anxiety, etc. However, the impact of COVID-19 and its
    consequences are felt differently depending on our status as individuals and as members of society.
    Since the virus has affected thousands of people locally, let us look at how COVID-19 has impacted the
    Miami Valley as a whole. Julie Mitchell will moderate this four-week COVID-19 themed series. The
    speakers will inform us of how the community, businesses, homeless, those with income loss, those with
    mental health issues, elderly, those with long-term illnesses, healthcare professionals and hospitals have
    been coping with the pandemic.

            COVID-19 Community Impacts and Responses in Dayton
            This presentation will detail how the Greater Dayton commu nity was impacted by the COVID-19
            pandemic with a lens on public/private services, healthcare and the arts. We will discuss The
            Dayton Foundation’s role in forming and administering the COVID Response Fund, Montgomery
            County’s role in convening COVID emergency response work, and the Physicians Charitable
            Foundation’s support of healthcare organizations. We will end by considering the long-term
            effects of COVID on our community and some of the strategies emerging in real time to address
            them. We will also allow time for discussion and welcome questions from participants.
            Co-Presenters: Matt Dunn, manager of Community Programming, Human Services Planning
            & Development at Montgomery County and Gerri Sheehan, executive director, Physicians
            Charitable Foundation.
            Thursday, June 3

            donors and not-for-profit organizations, and become a resource on philanthropy and the nonprofit
            community.

            Sheltering Homeless Men, Women and Children in a Pandemic
            When COVID-19 struck, there were 440 people in the shelter at St. Vincent de Paul in Dayton.
            Many already suffered from severe mental illness, and many abused drugs and alcohol. What was
            it like for staff, volunteers and homeless guests when they could not isolate at home like everyone
            else?

            Hospitals are Tackling the Challenges of COVID-19 Through Incredible
            Collaboration
            Our region’s hospitals were at the front lines of responding to COVID-19, ensuring the best
            care and safety for patients, staff and our community. Their incredible commitment to working
            together ensured they were able to adapt and respond to the changing nature of COVID-19 in
            our region. This collaboration has taken many forms throughout the pandemic. In early 2020,
            this included sharing physical items like personal protective equipment (PPE) and medical
            supplies, as well as best practices in staffing and clinical care. When cases grew in the winter of
            2020, they worked together to address the surge through regional planning efforts. And when
            vaccine started to become available, hospitals partnered with each other as well as public health
            departments and community organizations to ensure we were making the most of what started
            as a very limited supply. While the pandemic continues to impact finances and operations for
            our region’s hospitals, their collaborative effort continues to shine through in our collective
            response.

What the Heck is Geocaching?
     Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting activity that any age can enjoy, and is a perfect pastime for
     grandparents and grandchildren. Geocachers hunt for hidden containers in the great outdoors using a
     navigational device such as a smartphone. The location is identified by mapping coordinates and clues
     written by the hider. These hidden objects are literally everywhere around us, in cities and countries all
     over the world, although in most cases there is no treasure involved. There are thousands in Montgomery
     County alone. Come to this one-day two-hour seminar to learn how you can get involved. If you already
     own a smartphone, this is all you need to get started, along with a sense of adventure!

             Bigger Than Basketball: The Dayton Flyers’ Greatest Season
             After a summer of turmoil following the Memorial Day tornadoes and the Oregon District
             shootings, the Dayton Flyers helped a community heal as they put together the greatest
             regular season in school history, only to have hopes of a National Championship shattered
             by the COVID-19 pandemic. Larry Hansgen describes in his book the cultural foundation
             that led to success, success that did not come easy, despite the impressive 29-2 record and
             how the coaches and players came to terms with having their post-season taken away.

             NEW HORIZONS MUSIC
             Learn 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,
