What’s Next in Your Life?
Osher Lifelong Learning InstituteFall 2008 Calendar
“I love these lectures—it is great to be retired and keep going to classes. Learning never ends!”
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.”
Bernard Osher, a patron of education and the arts, is well known as “the quiet philanthropist.” He created the Bernard Osher Foundation in 1977
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 col-leges 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 chang-ing world. The comments of Osher Institute members are what inspire me.”
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at California
State University, Fresno, is designed for adults age 50+
who wish to continue learning and exploring for the sheer joy
of it. Renew your enthusiasm for learning in a relaxed atmo-
sphere, without entrance requirements, grades or exams.
Funded in part by the Bernard Osher Foundation, the OLLI is a
vibrant learning community offering a rich array of workshops,
short courses, and field trips of particular interest to retired or
semi-retired adults.
We have an exciting schedule of activities that will challenge,
inspire, and motivate you—why not join us today?

Libraries, Liberty and the Case for Intellectual FreedomMonday, October 20 • 3:30 pm – 5 pm

Parking in Lots J, N, O and P (see map in this brochure)
In 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 infor-
mation which is so critical for an
informed citizenry. Peter McDon-
ald, M.L.S., became the Dean of
Library Services, Henry Madden
Library, in 2007 after serving as
the Associate University Librar-
ian 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 Col-
lection 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
outdoorsman.

Satellite Student Union
Parking in Lots J, N, O and P (see map in this brochure)
Authors Mas Masumoto and Nikiko Masumoto present
an afternoon of family stories—exploring the relation-
ship 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
of four books including:
Heirlooms, Letters to the
Valley, Four Seasons in
Five Senses, Harvest Son,
and Epitaph for a Peach.
He received the “Award
of Distinction” from UC
Davis in 2003 and the
California Central Valley
“Excellence in Business”
Award in 2007. Daugh-
ter Nikiko Masumoto first learned to love food as a young girl
slurping the nectar of overripe organic peaches on the Masu-
moto Family Farm. Since then she has never missed a harvest.
She recently graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in Gen-
der 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
hopes to be a voice for a new generation of organic farmers.

Egypt: Yesterday and Today with A. Sameh El Kharbawy,
Ph.D. (Part 1) and James Mullooly, Ph.D. (Part 2)
Part 1 of this course will look at the culture of modern Egypt through two of its most vibrant markers: art and architec-
ture. It reviews some of the primary events, texts, works and im-ages that have shaped representations of Egypt, both modern and historical, and the appropriations of culture and history in constructing Egypt in the modern mind. Part 2 covers Egypt To-day: A Society in Transition. Its reputation as one of the “cradles of civilization” makes for an ideal backdrop to discuss Egypt’s contemporary society and customs. The last two sessions of this course will focus upon life in Egypt today. Dr. A. Sameh El Kharbawy is an architect, designer, cultural critic and Professor of Art and Design at California State University, Fresno, where he coordinates the Study Abroad Program in Egypt and the Middle East Studies Program. Dr. James Mullooly is a cultural anthropol-ogist who has lived in Jamaica, Mali and Egypt (for three years) and works in the fields of ethnography, education and applied anthropology.

Great Presidential Campaigns with Allen Carden, Ph.D.
Every four years, the American people go a little crazy. Foreign observers don’t know what to make of our behav-
ior and the carnival-like atmosphere that accompanies per-haps 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 part-time at Fresno State, and is a repeat OLLI speaker.

Dreams and Daily Life with Deb Borofka, Ph.D.
Have 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 consid-ers 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
local papers and e-zines, and can be heard on the public radio program, Valley Writers Read. Her interests include the inter-face of memory and language, personal mythology, individual learning styles as part of personal mythology, and in particu-lar, Women’s Memoir.

Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure with Gregg Dion
“Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall”
In 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 “prob-lem 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 intrigu-ing 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 pub-lished research on modern productions of Shakespeare plays. Students should obtain a copy of Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure in preparation for the short course.

Chihuly at the de Young Museum, San Francisco bus trip
Dale 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 interna-tional recognition.In the tradition of the medieval workshop or the studios of Louis Comfort Tiffany, Chihuly uses his work-
shop 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 per person.
