OLLI Spring 2013 Catalog
Continuing and Global Education
Welcome to OLLI at Fresno State
Lynnette Zelezny
It’s a new year and on behalf of the Osher Lifelong
Learning Institute, I’m delighted to announce our
Spring schedule of activities. The advisory committee
has crafted a wonderful selection that I know you will
enjoy.
The spring course offerings for our Osher Lifelong
Learning Institute at Fresno State provide exciting
study opportunities. No matter how you plan on
spending your spring, there is something for you in
our upcoming courses and programs.
As in the past, we’ve gathered experts on a wide
range of subjects, including science, history,
education, and music. You’ll also find opportunities
to learn new techniques or improve your current skills
in gardening, healthy cooking, painting, writing, and
digital photography.
The Osher Advisory Board actively seeks your input
in terms of course offerings, activities and field trips
and how we can continue to best meet your personal
learning goals. No tests or exams to take or grades
to earn – just learning for the thrill of intellectual
stimulation and growth within a vibrant learning
community.
Of course we have several fun field trips planned for
you as well! This spring the Fresno OLLI will venture
both near (Roger Rocka’s and the Fresno Food Expo)
and far (the Getty Museum and the Jelly Belly and
Anheuser-Busch factories) to explore, experience, and
savor a selection of cultural and educational activities.
Those of you who have been around since the
beginning of our Fresno program will recognize
Maestro Theodore Kuchar from the Fresno
Philharmonic, who spoke at our very first OLLI event
back in 2005 and also joined us in 2010. We’re
pleased to welcome him as a speaker once again.
We are always interested in hearing from you, our
members, about the topics and field trip locations
that interest you. Please share your ideas on the
evaluation forms at our sessions, or email us at
osher@csufresno.edu.

A growing number of people are turning away from organized religion, while at the same time religious fundamentalism

consider criticisms and interpretations of religion, with a specific focus on current events and contemporary issues. It will
consider the challenge of growing religious diversity. It will consider conflicts between science and religion. It will examine
arguments about the benefits and harms of religion. And it will consider the role of religion in America’s secular public life.
It will also look at the ways that religion shows up in contemporary ethical, social, and cultural disputes. Participants will

Most people have spent the majority of their lifetime working and becoming successful in their chosen careers. Their
careers are an integral part of their identity. Therefore, leaving behind a career and making the decision to retire is a major
life change. The retiree’s life and sense of self will be affected in every way. The development of a clear and personalized,
flexible Retirement Transitioning Plan (RTP) can be an important step toward a successful life experience after retiring
from the work force. The elements of an RTP are categorized into psychological, medical, social, self-actualization, and
financial. Gordon is an alumni of the rehabilitation counseling master’s program at Fresno State. Following his graduation,
he was in private rehabilitation practice in Fresno until he accepted the position as Director of Program Services at

There’s Something Fishy Here
with Dr. Richard Haas
WEDNESDAYS: March 20, 27, & April 3
10:00 am to 11:30 am
Location: PB192
This course will be about the story of how our bodies, and those of other backboned animals, owe their basic design and
functioning to evolutionary innovations going back over three billion years to our very earliest non-human ancestors. The
ways we are put together and function are variations wrought by evolution of structures first seen in fossils of early fish
and physiological functions originally part of living in water. For example, our hands and limbs are modifications of fins
of fishes while our kidneys owe their functioning to fishy adaptations for aquatic life. Session one will cover topics such
as evolution as fact & theory, Charles Darwin, and earliest signs of life on earth. Session two will discuss design features
of humans and session three will cover topics such as how are bodies work, our “inner ocean,” skin & kidneys. Dr. Haas
was a professor of ichthyology, vertebrate natural history, animal behavior, human ecology and general biology at Fresno
State for 23 years.

The United States is currently marking the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War, a conflict that nearly tore the
nation in two. This course will take a fresh look at this momentous event—and the myriad social, economic, and political
changes it wrought—by focusing on the presidency of Abraham Lincoln. We will consider the election that put Lincoln in

WEDNESDAYS: April 3, 10, 17 & 24

Activity: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute – Spring 2013 Short Courses and Field Trips
Activity Dates(s), Time(s) and Location(s): See reverse side for all initialed activities attending
In consideration for being allowed to participate in these Activities, on behalf of myself and my
next of kin, heirs and representatives, I release from all liability and promise not to sue the
State of California, the Trustees of The California State University, California State University,
Fresno and their employees, officers, directors, volunteers and agents (collectively “University”)
from any and all claims, including claims of the University’s negligence, resulting in any
physical or psychological injury (including paralysis and death), illness, damages, or economic
or emotional loss I may suffer because of my participation in these Activities, including travel to,
from and during the Activities.
I am voluntarily participating in these Activities. I am aware of the risks associated with
traveling to/from and participating in these Activities, which include but are not limited to
physical or psychological injury, pain, suffering, illness, disfigurement, temporary or permanent
disability (including paralysis), economic or emotional loss, and/or death. I understand that these
injuries or outcome may arise from my own or other’s actions, inaction, or negligence;
conditions related to travel; or the condition of the Activities locations. Nonetheless, I assume
all related risks, both known or unknown to me, of my participation in these Activities,
including travel to, from and during the Activities.
I agree to hold the University harmless from any and all claims, including attorney’s fees or
damage to my personal property, which may occur as a result of my participation in these
Activities, including travel to, from and during the Activities. If the University incurs any of
these types of expenses, I agree to reimburse the University. If I need medical treatment, I agree
to be financially responsible for any costs incurred as a result of such treatment. I am aware and
understand that I should carry my own health insurance.
I am 18 years or older. I understand the legal consequences of signing this document,
including (a) releasing the University from all liability, (b) promising not to sue the
University, (c) and assuming all risks of participating in these Activities, including travel to,
from and during these Activities.
I understand that this document is written to be as broad and inclusive as legally permitted by the
State of California. I agree that if any portion is held invalid or unenforceable, I will continue to
be bound by the remaining terms.

legal effect of this document have been made to me.
