“I love these lectures—it is great to be retired and keep going to classes. Learning never ends!”

Seven years ago, Dr. Berta González, former Associate Vice President of Continuing and Global Education,

asked if I would help implement a grant designed to estab-lish a lifelong learning institute at Fresno State. I said yes and have never regretted it. The program has grown in the number and diversity of offerings, we have survived mov-ing the office several times, consumed hundreds (maybe

thousands) of lemon bars and, have even mastered how to use the parking permit dispensers.

My goal to fulfill Bernard Osher’s vision of having an Institute at Fresno State has been achieved. This is due, in large part, to your unwavering sup-port. Many of you played an active part in attaining the mem-bership goal needed to receive the million-dollar endowment

in 2010. My wish is that the program continue to grow and that you will remain a vital part of its future.

At this point, you are undoubtedly sensing what I will write next. It was not an easy decision to retire as Direc-tor of your Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. You individ-ually and collectively have played a starring role in my life the past seven years and I will miss you.

I want to thank everyone in the offices of Continuing and Global Education and University Business Center who have given (and continue to give) generously of their knowledge and skills. Most importantly, I want to thank Dwayne Berrett, Dr. John Dunn, and Connie Medina for their hard work and dedication. Dwayne and John were instrumental in scheduling lecturers who would educate us in topics ranging from bats to Beethoven. All the while, Connie kept things organized in the office.

As for me, I will continue life’s magnificent journey and see where it takes me. I want you to know how privileged I feel in having spent time with you. I wish each of you the best.

Shirley Bruegman

After seven years of dedicated service to the Division of Continuing and Global Education,

Dr. Shirley Bruegman has announced that she will be retiring from her position as Director of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI). As all of you know, Dr. Bruegman pioneered the creation of the program, successfully attained its $1 million endowment, and oversaw the program’s expansion; in short, she made OLLI the true community treasure that it is today. In recognition of all of her efforts and tireless leadership, President Welty, Provost Covino, and I have awarded Dr. Bruegman an honorary lifetime membership in OLLI. We hope you’ll join us in thanking her for her service when you see her next at one of our future OLLI events.

Although OLLI will not have the benefit of Dr. Bruegman’s esteemed leadership moving forward, we are none the less excited about the bright future that is ahead. A new OLLI Advisory Board is being established that will guide the second phase of the program’s expansion. Dr. Sue Smits will assist me on the Advisory Board, which will include OLLI members, University faculty and staff, and community leaders. I have charged the Board with developing new and engaging programmatic offerings for our members, and developing a plan for the next phase of our program’s growth. I will serve as the Interim Director of OLLI during this time of transition, and we will continue to partner with the University Business Center (UBC) to provide customer service and support to our members.

Thank you for your continued support of the OLLI program. I am confident our brightest days are ahead of us, and I look forward to sharing the next phase of our program’s journey with all of you.

American Political Parties with Allen Carden, Ph.D.

Another presidential election year is upon us. We

take political parties and the way they operate for

granted as a part of our nation’s history. But most Ameri-

cans are unaware of how political parties started, what

parties have existed over the years, and what twists

and turns time has brought to our political parties. For

example, few, if any, Southern whites would have voted

Republican in the post-Civil

War era, yet now the South

is a stronghold of the Re-

publican party. Join historian

Allen Carden as he attempts

to make sense of the perplex-

ing political parties of the

past and present. Dr. Carden

teaches history at Fresno State,

Fresno Pacific University, and

Fresno City College, and is the author of several history

books.

Did You Hear What I Mean? with Richard Berrett, Ph.D.

Communication is so often a challenge. We may

think we understand exactly what we are com-

municating to others, only to see the confusion on their

faces, or behavior that confirms we have not been un-

derstood. At other times we believe we understand oth-

ers only to learn we “blew it.” Join Rich Berrett, Ph.D. in

Marriage and Family Therapy, for four sessions dedicat-

ed to understanding self and others. Berrett is an Emeriti

Faculty of Child Development and Family Relations

at California State University, Fresno. A family science

professional with over 40 years

of successful local, national

and international experience in

education, non-profit, business

and government settings, Berrett

facilitates learning to promote

understanding of self and others

in ways that affirm the principles

of mutual respect, good will,

and co-operation.

What’s HOT in Biology with Richard Haas, Ph.D.

This class will begin with a discussion of the core

ideas in the science of biology. Why is water so

important? How is life defined? What is DNA and how

does it work? The second session will focus on global

warming, energy, evolution, population growth, time

scales, and life on land. The third and final session will

bring you current with what is happening in the news

involving biology. What issues and items in the Fresno

Bee have been reported on since the course began?

What does the reader need to fully understand these

stories? Dr. Haas was

a professor of ich-

thyology, vertebrate

natural history, ani-

mal behavior, human

ecology, and gen-

eral biology at Fresno

State for 23 years. His experience includes working as a

An Introduction to the Philosophy of Science: How We

Know What Is and Isn’t So with Raymond Hall, Ph.D.

The course will offer a lively discussion of the philo-

sophical attempts to define a boundary between the

scientific and its pretenders. Join a physicist on a tour of

the major scientific revolutions that have changed the

way we view the universe and take a careful look at the

method of inquiry we call the scientific method. See

how science has again and again demonstrated that the

universe is far more wonderful and strange than ever

had been imagined. Learn to discern the difference be-

tween astronomy and astrol-

ogy, and explore the applica-

tion of this distinction in the

areas of law, public policy,

and education policy. Hall is

Professor in the Department

of Physics at Fresno State;

in addition to instruction in

physics, quantum mechan-

ics and particle physics, he
