There are 120 Osher Institutes in colleges and universities throughout the United States. We offer intellectual stimulation and civic engagement in a community of lifelong learners age 50 and better. Through the Osher Institute you may rediscover your love for learning on the beautiful University of Richmond campus. We offer a wide array of academic courses and programs year round, in the spring, summer and fall semesters. Osher offerings include undergraduate credit courses for audit, special interest groups, mini-courses, free lectures, and more. There are no entrance requirements, no tests and no grades. In fact, no college background is needed at all—it’s your love of learning that counts. If you’re 50 or better with a curious mind and a keen interest in learning, we’d love for you to join us.

Hello Summer! It’s summer! Are you thinking lots of lazy days and beach trips? There is plenty of time to relax, but the University of Richmond’s Osher Institute has planned great courses and special events to keep you – and your mind – busy in June and July. We hope you’ll take a close look at our course offerings – we have great new instructors and lots of new topics. We also have planned several day trips – one to Norfolk to visit the MacArthur Memorial and the Battleship Wisconsin and another to Bath County’s Garth Newel Music Center for a picnic and concert. We also have interesting courses for our literature lovers and history buffs. This summer we begin a new strand of courses and special events, the Osher Series on Aging Well, that focuses on health/wellness and financial/legal issues for those of us over 50. While we have offered such classes in the past, the Osher Institute is the recipient of a Regirer Foundation grant that prompts us to be intentional about providing these topics for our members. Look for the new Re symbol that highlights these courses. We are excited about our three new Osher Special Interest Groups: Travel, Contemporary Issues, and Photography. See page 14 for the details on these and all of our interest groups. They provide a great way to get involved and meet other Osher members. Come be an active part of the Osher Institute today! Page 4 provides all the details on annual membership and course registration. Become a member, sign up for classes, volunteer to serve on an Osher team, join an interest group! Get involved!

Before the Crisis? Planning for Our Aging Parents (and Ourselves)
The American Romantics in Italy
Lecture, Discussion
NEW This course will focus on the 19th century Grand Tour and the American Romantics (Emerson, Melville, Poe, and Hawthorne) who, through their diaries, novels, journals, poetry, letters, and dispatches, described their time spent in Italy. We will also read and discuss excerpts of literary works written by American authors who travelled to Italy.
NEW As parents, we learn to plan in advance for childcare, prepare ourselves with what to expect from our kids at various ages, and understand the need to pre-plan for college tuition. So, why is it that as adult children, we don’t help our parents plan for the needs they will have as seniors? This presentation helps the audience to understand changes to expect with aging and how to help our parents (and ourselves!) plan for getting older.

Give a Gift of Membership Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas, anniversaries, birthdays, Valentine’s, and other celebrations are a great time to give the gift of Osher membership. This is SO much better than another sweater, candy, or a pair of socks! This is perfect for a spouse, partner, friend, parent, grandparent, or neighbor. Osher membership offers great classes, wonderful benefits, and often leads to longtime friendships. Members may engage in interest groups, book clubs, courses, special events, and travel opportunities, as well as attend special lectures, musical performances, and art exhibit openings. Rather than giving something that is consumed or shoved in a closet, give this great gift of intellectual activities, social engagement, and fun!

Osher Interest Groups Formed and led by Osher members, our vibrant Osher interest groups are listed below. More details about interest groups are online at osher. richmond.edu. An Osher Institute membership is required for interest group participants.
Bicycling
This group will explore bike trails mainly in the Richmond area, with possible rides on trails around Virginia. Group members will use their personal bikes and helmets and provide their own transportation to the bike trails. Most rides will be on weekdays, of moderate difficulty, and several hours duration. The group coordinator is John Votta at johnjoy2you@verizon.net. All participants are required to sign a liability release form.
Bridge
The social/party/duplicate bridge group meets on the first Friday of each month at 1 PM. A short bridge lesson is taught at the beginning of each session. Please contact Ellen Hollands at efine98@aol.com or (804) 741-0221 if you are interested in joining. These are FUN groups. All levels are welcome!
Contemporary Issues
This new discussion group, coordinated by Bill Pawelski, Alan Corbett, Janet Murray, Jeff Keil, and John Schofield, centers on the free flow of information and ideas. Topics for each meeting will be chosen from recommendations made by participants. Various moderators will prepare an agenda for each meeting and share information, statistics, and resources on selected topics. UR faculty or students may be asked to present. Sessions will be interactive, with open discussions of the news of the day. Lively debate and a free flow of ideas and opinions will be encouraged, all done in a respectful and safe atmosphere. Sessions will be held the first Wednesday of each month. Classroom space is limited, so seating for each session will be on a first-come, first-served basis, with separate registration for each session. To join, please email John Schofield at schofieldj@comcast.net.
Great Conversations
For the past eight years our group has been discussing short stories, essays and poetry, with a few longer readings mixed in. The subjects of our chats? This, that and the other thing. We’ve
floated deep into the Heart of Darkness with Joseph Conrad; in ‘Roman Fever’, Edith Wharton allowed us to eavesdrop on a romantic rivalry between two wealthy matrons; Thucydides introduced us to power politics between Athens and Sparta with the tiny isle of Melos as the prize. We hope you’ll join us on the fourth Wednesday of every month from 2-4 PM for smart, friendly conversation about shoes and ships and sealing wax, not to mention cabbages and kings, and who knows what else? If you’d like to sign up, or have questions, please contact Vera Mulherin at paxvera@netscape.com.
Hikers
Come with us and explore the wonders of nature: the breathtaking waterfalls, wildlife, various plants and vegetation, not to mention historic urban settings. Our hikes run from September through June and cover an array of venues from the Shenandoah National Forest to urban hikes, and all points in between. Our hikes generally run between four and seven miles in length with varying degrees of difficulty and elevation change. We generally leave campus around 8 AM and return by 5 PM. For more information, contact the group coordinator: Amelia Wolfe, awolfe@ richmond.edu. All participants are required to sign a liability release form. Upcoming hikes include: Monday, May 8: Newport News Park (Easy degree of difficulty) Thursday, May 25: Del Fosse Winery, Nelson County (Moderate degree of difficulty) Monday, June 12: Smithfield å(Urban hike)

Photography
A new Osher Photography Interest Group provides the opportunity to gather in a supportive environment with others who share a curiosity and passion for photography. Members will have the chance to present their works with an emphasis on the “how” and “why” a photo (or portfolio)
was created, while also sharing their knowledge and techniques. In this noncompetitive environment, help, advice, and feedback will be stressed. Each month members may submit digital images for a theme segment or an open category. Images will be projected, and members may provide constructive critiques. Theme assignments could include, for example, a portrait using a wide angle and including a sense of place in the background; music, such as an instrument or performance; street photography of some sort; color (where the bulk of the image is a particular color); a pattern (e.g. repeating circles); and more. This group’s members could also create the opportunity to partner on photography shoots around Richmond and possibly beyond. If you would like to join this group, please email coordinator Peter Blankman at pblankman@ gmail.com.
Theatre Lovers
A love for live theatre is the only prerequisite for joining this interest group. This Osher interest group explores the Richmond theatre scene by selecting and attending various performances throughout the year. Here’s what’s in store for the late spring and summer of 2017:
Kinky Boots: Altria Theatre, Sunday, 6/4/17, 1:00 pm In the Heights: Virginia Repertory Theatre, Sunday, 7/23/17, 2:00 pm There is a wonderful social aspect to this group. When appropriate, we plan to gather after a performance for discussion and a meal. We also hope there will be occasions to go backstage and talk with local actors. To learn more and to join, please contact Linda Turner at lturner@richmond.edu.
Travel
Attention all travelers! Don and Celeste Miller are spearheading a new Osher special interest group for those who love to travel. The objectives of the group are to share information regarding trips taken and most importantly, to help coordinate future Osher travel. If you have interest in learning from fellow travelers, if you’d like to share your experiences, or if you are willing to help to lead the development of future Osher trips, this is the special interest group for you! We plan to focus on day trips and overnight excursions, as well as domestic and international travel. To join or to learn more, please email OSHERtravel@gmail.com. Come join the fun and expand your experiences!
