“I love these lectures—it is great to be retired and keep going to classes.
S
Learning never ends!”
even years ago, Dr. Berta González, former Associate
Vice President of Continuing and Global Education,
asked if I would help implement a grant designed to establish 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 moving 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 support. Many of you played an
active part in attaining the membership 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 Director of your Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. You individually 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.

A
fter 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.
