FALL 2011

Exceptional learningfor innite minds.


2/52

In 1997, a small group of mature learners, under theleadership of Rose Moldave, Joan Schwartz, SallySchwartz, and Rayna Zeidenberg, collaborated withUniversity Extension at the University of California,Irvine, to form the Academy of Lifelong Learning.Without their personal connection with the Universityand access to the early faculty presenters, OLLI mightnot have the quality it enjoys today. Six years later,with an initial grant from the Osher Foundation, theAcademy became part of the growing OLLI network andOLLI at UCI became ofcial. Three years later the OsherFoundation presented an endowment to the universityin our behalf, which provides annual earned interest.Our Mission Statement OLLI at UC Irvine seeks to enhance the quality of lifefor mature adults by promoting intellectual growth in

We are adults with wide-ranging interests in history, literature, the natural and social sciences, ne arts and specialevents. Courses are selected by our curriculum committees on the basis of member requests, the expertise of classleaders, variety and balance. OLLI instructors are a mix of peer teachers, UC Irvine professors, graduate students,independent scholars and community experts. You are sure to nd something to appeal to you, whether it introduces yto something new, or continues to expand your interest in something familiar.

In addition to this great line-up of courses, the Fall Forum at the University Club continues in the able hands of JulieHume. She has assembled a wonderful group of speakers and topics. The Forum begins on Wednesday, October 5, andour members are always welcome. Check the schedule listed in this catalog for your Wednesday luncheon and learninpleasure.

THROUGH THE FRONTDOOR

AH 101At rst glance, the front door is anarchitectural feature appearing simplyto function as a point of entry andexit. However, more than a transitionfrom one area to another, the dooris laden and layered with meaningsthat change over a lifetime, throughthe ages, and within a variety ofcommunities.Our presenters lecture and audio-visual materials will give insight tohow these layers develop throughstages of life. We will learn howa door is more than a necessarybarrier or opening, or an element formovement; it is a symbol of passageand transition into our personal spaceand we are affected on many levels,consciously and subconsciously, by itspresence and function.Communities we may never haveseriously considered Alzheimerpatients admitted through a doorwhich is locked behind them, residentsentering into assisted-living facilities,and the young escorted into theirrst schoolroom all enter through afront door. This unique class will givemeaning to a common, yet symbolic,feature of our every day lives.Presenter: Ted Wells
