“I love these lectures—it is great to be retired and keep going to classes.
Learning never ends!”
Bquiet philanthropist.” He created the Bernard Osher Foundation in 1977
ernard Osher, a patron of education and the arts, is well known as “the
which seeks to improve quality of life through support for higher education
and the arts. The Foundation supports a growing national network of lifelong
learning institutes for older adults, operating on campuses of nearly 120 colleges and universities from Maine to Hawaii.
When asked by the Wall Street Journal what he hoped his commitment and
investment would inspire, Mr. Osher responded, “My idea from the start was
to improve the lives of older adults by providing them with opportunities for
learning new subjects, sharing ideas, and participating fully in a rapidly changing world. The comments of Osher Institute members are what inspire me.”
Some comments from members of Fresno State’s
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute:
“What an opportunity to learn...fascinating.”
“This is the first course I’ve attended—I’m a new member.
I’m very impressed.”
“Entertaining and enlightening”
“Absolutely the most riveting speaker I’ve heard.”

uthors Mas Masumoto and Nikiko Masumoto present
an afternoon of family stories—exploring the relationship between father/daughter, old and young, generation to
generation. They will share stories from Mas’ books and Fresno
Bee columns, some co-written with Nikiko. The presentation
promises to be entertaining as well as engaging. David Mas
Masumoto is an organic peach and grape farmer and the author

slurping the nectar of overripe organic peaches on the Masumoto Family Farm. Since then she has never missed a harvest.
She recently graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in Gender and Women’s Studies; now she lives with her grandparents
and works alongside her father on the farm. As a young person
deeply concerned with justice, sustainability, and art, Nikiko

I
n our often harried society, the concept of civic space has
largely disappeared. Indoor shopping malls, privately owned,
have today supplanted the public square. This talk explores how
libraries in America are now the last bastions of a civic space
left in the nation. They have become de facto the public square
of old, open and free to all as a communal place for intellectual
discovery, freedom of expression, and unfettered access to information which is so critical for an
informed citizenry. Peter McDonald, M.L.S., became the Dean of
Library Services, Henry Madden
Library, in 2007 after serving as
the Associate University Librarian for Collection Services at
Syracuse University from 1999 to
2006. Among other professional
positions, he was Director of the
Geneva Agriculture Library at
Cornell University, bibliographer
for the Native American Collection at the New York Public Library, and the co-founder of
Modern Productions, Too Tall Guys Productions, a firm providing
music industry promotion and production. His research and
publications have been in the areas of E-Journals, music rights
and the digital age, the selection of digital resources, and Native
Americans. He is a published poet, book collector, and

contemporary society and customs. The last two sessions of

Great Presidential Campaigns with Allen Carden, Ph.D.
E
very four years, the American people go a little crazy.
Foreign observers don’t know what to make of our behavior and the carnival-like atmosphere that accompanies perhaps the most important decision that the American people
make, with implications for the whole world. It is time to hire
someone to fill what is arguably the most important job in
the world—the American Presidency. In this series of lectures,
selected presidential campaigns of the past will be described
and analyzed. While the methods of presidential campaigning
have undergone drastic changes throughout our history, some
things remain amazingly the same. Join us as we look at some
great presidential campaigns and elections, and perhaps draw
some parallels to the campaign of 2008. Dr. Allen Carden is a
professor of history at Fresno Pacific University, teaches parttime at Fresno State, and is a repeat OLLI speaker.

Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure with Gregg Dion
“Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall”
I
n Shakespeare’s darkest comedy, when the seat of power in
Vienna is given to a paradigm of law and order—Angelo—
his first act is to condemn young Claudio to death for having
impregnated his fiance. Measure for Measure is called a “problem play” for good reason: it’s a disturbing blend of bawdy
humor and moral philosophy, disguise and self-examination,
clowns and executioners, offense and forgiveness. And yet, as
a play about the abuse of power, it still resonates today. This
short course will follow the process of bringing this intriguing text to life on the modern stage, from script analysis to
the history of notable productions to the behind-the-scenes
work of designers and performers in this show. Instructor
Gregg Dion teaches theatre courses at Fresno State, and has
also been a lecturer at the University of Pittsburgh and at the
University of Lodz, Poland. He has designed scenery and published research on modern productions of Shakespeare plays.
Students should obtain a copy of Shakespeare’s Measure for
Measure in preparation for the short course.

H
ave you ever realized that your dream life might reveal
other aspects of yourself and your own life story? Did
you know that even “average” dreams often have a definite
structure, not unlike that of a drama? This course considers the dreaming psyche as a means of mapping the terrain
of the metaphorical stories that unfold in our dreams, and
encourages the practice of dream journaling; guides you
to begin attending to the personal unconscious, collective
unconscious, and transpersonal themes of your dreams; and
to discover written forms for expressing their content. Deb
Everson Borofka is a memoirist whose work has appeared in

Chihuly at the de Young Museum, San Francisco bus trip
D
ale Chihuly is the most famous glass artist living today
and the subject of many popular exhibitions. Organized
by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and accompanied
by a catalogue written by curator Timothy Anglin Burgard,
Chihuly at the de Young takes a broad view of the dramatic,
colorful, and textured works that generate instant international recognition.
In the tradition of the medieval workshop
or the studios of Louis Comfort Tiffany, Chihuly uses his workshop as a fulcrum for his creations.
His counterculture roots manifest
themselves in a school that’s
more akin to a commune than an
institution of higher learning. The
trip will include small group (20
people maximum) gallery talks
with Fresno State glass instructor
Joseph Morel. Museum admission
is included; optional audio tours
are available at the museum for $5
