The University of Dayton Lifelong Learning Institute (UDLLI) began 19 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

We are a communityWe are adults with wide-ranging interests in art, cur-rent events, health and fitness, history, literature, music, religion and science. A curriculum committee selects our curriculum on the basis of member re-quests, the expertise of moderators, variety and bal-ance. Moderators include University of Dayton (UD) professors and community professionals who lead peer-to-peer informal lecture and discussion seminars that meet once a week for two hours, for four to eight weeks. The summer session is two one-day sessions.

Our seminars are noncreditThere 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 the seminars are held in the 1700 South Patterson Building, others on the UD main campus with a few at off-site locations, such as the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery. The map on pages 18-19 identifies the location of River Campus and other UD buildings.

UDLLI is a cooperative ventureWe rely on the contributions and participation, both in seminars and out, of each member. Members teach seminars, coordinate lecture series, lead small group discussions, organize activities and

volunteer projects, serve on the board of advisers and committees, act as seminar liaisons, help in the office and volunteer for all other tasks that keep us going.

Becoming a member of UDLLI is easyRegistering for seminars is simple and convenient. Pages 33 and 34 give complete registration informa-tion and procedures. Once you register for a seminar, you automatically become a UDLLI participating member for the current academic year. The term of membership conforms to the academic calendar, beginning in September and ending in June.

Friends of the Institute are individuals donating $80 or more each year to support UDLLI’s goals; Life Members are individuals making a one-time donation of $2,000 or more; and Distinguished Service Life Members are individuals giving UDLLI extraordinary service. Life and Distinguished Members may attend seminars at no cost.

We are part of the University of Dayton’s special pro-grams and continuing education, which is directed by Julie Mitchell and sponsors lifelong learning pro-grams and professional development. Founded in 1994 as the University of Dayton Institute for Learn-ing in Retirement, we have grown from the original 98 members to more than 2,000 members.

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.

Emphasis will be on legal proceedings and theory, understandable at the layman’s level, and will not include or engage in legal advice.

Why the Allies Failed to End WWII in 1944 NEW

At the end of August 1944, the Allies came to believe their crushing defeat of the Germans in Normandy had set the stage for a quick end of the war, certainly by December. It was not to be. Why? It began with the strong sense of over-optimism, as well as self-deception, on the part of the Allies after their victory. The many ungovernable conditions of battle — such as political factors, the military power and will of the enemy, the always-unexpected arrival of luck, and that constant intruder of war: chance — contributed to the Allies’ failure to end the war in 1944. Despite the aid of intelligence, a commander can know the situation of his enemy only imperfectly. On a most fundamental level, human frailty, as we shall quickly discover, runs like a broad serpentine river through the events of June to December 1944.

6 Mondays, January 13 – February 24 (NO SEMINAR ON JANUARY 20) 12:30 – 2:30 p.m. at River Campus

A Photographer’s ViewpointWe will review images from the Marvin Christian Collection now residing at Dayton History, featuring the work of William Preston Mayfield (1896-1974). With discussion and retrospection, we will remember and view photos of Rike’s, NCR, Frigidaire, Mead, Winters and Third National banks, schools, traction cars, the train depot, theaters and favorite dining spots from the period of time “when Main Street was our mall.” Participants will be asked to bring in their own photographs and Dayton-area memorabilia for sharing.

First Amendment Freedoms: What Do the Supreme Court’s Cases Say? NEW

This seminar will cover how the U.S. Supreme Court has interpreted the free speech and religious freedom guarantees of the First Amendment. While the text of the First Amendment is quite brief, the Supreme Court’s decisions interpreting and applying this text take up volumes of shelf space. This is because the First Amendment applies to a wide variety of behavior. For example, can a city display a crèche on public property at Christmas? Can a public high school have a prayer at the opening of a football game? Can parents sue protesters for picketing at their child’s funeral? Can the government prohibit children from playing violent video games? We will discuss these Supreme Court cases and more in this seminar.

Jane Austen reading Circle: Sense and Sensibility NEW

Jane Austen is both funny and satiric; we’ll discover this by reading her novels in this Jane Austen Reading Circle. The circle is limited to 20 participants so each of us has time to talk. All members of this group will be asked to participate each week by presenting a chosen part, sentence, scene or word (do choose at least 10, just in case) out of the chapters assigned. Each of us will lead a part of the discussion. We will read nine chapters to prepare for each week, including chapters 1-9 the first week. Generally, we will proceed around the circle, with each talking about his or her chosen words. Brief discussion may follow. The book chosen is Sense and Sensibility (Austen’s “first” novel). While any version of the novel is acceptable, I can recommend the David M. Shapard annotated version. This version has footnotes throughout, giving insight to words, circumstances and Austen’s methods and manner. Please bring your book to our first session with your choices marked, ready for discussion.

This seminar will focus not only on how the U.S. has fought the War on Terror in Afghanistan, but also on the history of wars that have been fought in that country, including the Soviet war of the 1980s and how the Taliban rose to power. Aside from the wars, the seminar will also discuss Afghanistan’s various ethnic groups and languages, its wide-ranged geography and specific cultural and religious norms that are inherent to the people.

Backyard Ambassadors NEW

“Cultural and linguistic competence is a set of congruent behaviors, attitudes, and policies that come together in a system, agency, or among professionals that enables effective work in cross-cultural situations” (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services). When Americans travel, we are often seen as not being culturally skilled. Defeating this image of ourselves as culturally clueless, we can look to a local Ohio author for guidance. Josepha Campinha-Bacote is the founder of Transcultural C.A.R.E. Associates. We will learn the principles of her work, discuss ways to up our cultural self-efficacy as backyard ambassadors and hear from international guest speakers. You will leave this class more culturally competent!

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, French horn, trombone, baritone, tuba and percussion.

General information. Review these items for important and helpful information.

• The $80 registration fee per session entitles you to select as many seminars during that session as you wish.

• Payment is due when you register, unless you select to be billed later. In that case, your confirmation packet letter serves as your invoice and payment is due upon receipt.

• Participants are enrolled in the order that registrations are received.

• You can register for UDLLI seminars by mail, email or telephone. In an attempt to provide equal registration opportunities for all participants, hand deliveries/walk-in registrations will no longer be accepted.

• After registering, the confirmation packet containing seminar registration, parking information and instructions on how to obtain a parking permit will be mailed to you.

• Seminars may be cancelled if fewer than 10 persons register. You will be notified should that occur.

• Once a seminar reaches its specified “seminar limit,” you are wait-listed and notified if an opening occurs.

• If you cannot attend the first day of your seminar, please notify special programs and continuing education, 937-229-2347; otherwise, you may be dropped from the seminar.

About refunds. To receive a refund of your $80 registration fee, please notify special programs and continuing education, 937-229-2347, by Jan. 6, 2014. After that date, refunds are not given; however, substitution of participants is always acceptable.

Parking permits. There is a fee of $30 for each parking permit.

While you may park off campus, parking on university grounds and campus requires a valid university parking permit. A valid UD permit is necessary even if parking in a handicapped-designated space. During registration, you may request a permit to park on campus.

The R1 permit is also valid on the main campus, 7:30 p.m. – 6:30 a.m. weekdays; open parking (without a permit) is allowed on weekends.

To obtain a parking permit, please indicate your parking intentions/requirements by checking the appropriate box on the registration page. Your confirmation letter will include instructions on how to receive the permit if you have requested one.

Once received, please keep your permit in a safe place for use during the term. Remember to display it properly from the rearview mirror. Lost or stolen permits as well as parking citations are the responsibility of the member. Replacement permits cost $30 per person, per permit.

If your seminar is held off site. You are responsible for transportation to and from a seminar held off site. A UD parking permit is not required.

If you wish to ride the rTA. The RTA RideLine, 937-425-8300, gives schedule, route and senior discount information.

• If you are registered for seminars and circumstances prevent you from attending seminars before the session begins or after the session has started, please call special programs and continuing education at 937-229-2347 to cancel your seminar registration.
