Techniques for observation of birds by sight and sound will be presented. As you do your birdwatching in your yard or out in nature, you’ll be able to identify certain birds by their sounds. February 12, Bees: You’ve heard about The Secret Life of Bees. Well, now you can find out about the real life of bees and how important they are to our daily lives. This isn’t meant to be a bee-keeping course, but you’ll gain a basic understanding of these amazing little creatures and what we can do to help them. February 19, Trees: Historic Trees, Historic Places - A story of area trees and homes, some dating back more than one hundred years, with historical and current pictures.

Stars Up Above: What’s Up There Tonight? | Dr. Jonathan Jennings Thursday, February 7, 21, 28, March 7 | 6:00 - 7:30 pm Watkins Teaching Center, 138 Room | Registration: $20 Available for teacher recertification Dr. Jennings has been exploring the night sky for over 55 years. Astronomy can be a very expensive hobby, but it doesn’t have to be. He will point out that “the stars are a free show for everyone’s enjoyment and amazement.” The three-fold purposes of this course are as follows: (1) to present background information about the Earth’s movements relative to the Moon, the Sun, and the Stars, (2) to help the participants explore how and where to observe objects that appear in the night sky by participating in outside viewing sessions (particularly the Moon and planets), and (3) to explore current and planned planetary space probes. The night sky, as viewed from Earth, is changing, and yet simultaneously constant. We see different portions of the night sky each night, but the constellations appear unchanging over the years. The Earth’s motions through space provide the basis for our measurement of time: including the second, minute, hour, day, and year. Classroom presentations and nighttime viewing sessions will help participants better understand the dynamic motions of the planet on which we live and develop an appreciation for the varied objects we can see from Earth.

Local Snakes, Frogs, Snails, and Wild Animals Tuesday, March 5, 19, 26, and April 2 | 3:45 - 4:45 pm | Vandiver Hall 201 Registration: $20 | Available for teacher recertification Getting to Know Your Wild Neighbors: Tuesday, March 5, 19 | Dr. Travis “Rocky” Nation When it comes to wild animals, some species attract more attention than others. In this portion of the course, we will look at some of our larger, well-known species as well as others which seem content to stay in the background. We will frame the discussion of animal species within the context of wildlife and conservation biology and the role we humans play in the landscape. A few of the wild neighbors include deer, coyote, and bear from Earth. Snakes, Tuesday, March 26 | Dr. Joni Criswell: Can you name the snakes in our area? Are you afraid of snakes? Can you tell a venomous vs nonvenomous snake? What do you do if you get bitten by a snake? Do you know of any value that snakes have? Join this class to learn the characteristics of local snakes: how to identify snakes, their habitat, and value. (NO live snakes will be in class.) Frogs, Salamanders and Other Slimy Things, Tuesday, April 2 | Dr. Joni Criswell Can you identify the amphibians in our area? Would you be able to tell the difference between a frog call and an insect chirping? How long do amphibians live? Join this class to learn the characteristics of local amphibians: how to identify frog calls; life cycle of local amphibians; and important ecological impacts of amphibians.

LANGUAGES Second-level Spanish | Mrs. Margaret R. Rucker Monday, March 4, 18, 25, April 1 | 3:45- 5:00 pm | Registration $20 Vandiver Hall 134 | Available for teacher recertification credits ¡Bienvenidos a la clase Español! The main objective of this course is that the students will continue the study of the language to improve the skills of communicating in real-life situations. The students will integrate what is taught in this course with previously learned material, and additional learning opportunities will be created whenever possible. They are reminded that learning a language takes time. Making mistakes is normal and no one reaches perfection, but everyone should strive for it. In this class the goal is to acquire the vocabulary and grammatical structures that will enable the students to speak and understand others whose language they are studying; they will read and write in Spanish and gain an appreciation and understanding of the Hispanic culture.

American Sign Language | Mrs. Becky Walker Thursday, January 24, 31, February 7 | 5:30–6:45 pm | Registration: $20 Watkins Teaching Center, Room 100 | Available for teacher recertification This sign course offers the opportunity for participants to build basic skills in communicating in American Sign Language. This is a continuation of American Sign Language (ASL) and the basic vocabulary, structure, syntax, and grammar. Focus will be on mastering the basics of finger-spelling, numbers, colors, facial grammar and sentence structure; participants will also learn conversational/ cultural behaviors necessary to hold a beginning-level conversation in ASL, with deaf/hard-of-hearing native users of the language. Information about deaf culture, along with deaf humor, provides students a broad picture of language and culture.

TREAT YOURSELF WHILE DONATING TO LLI! Please visit Dillard’s Anderson and identify yourself with “The Lifelong Learning Institute at Anderson University.” Take your purchases to Customer Service. A percentage of sales will be donated to the Lifelong Learning Institute.

Simple and fun! We look forward to seeing you on these two days!

FINANCE Passport to Retirement | Mr. Spencer Metcalf Monday, March 18, 25 | 6:15 – 9:00 pm | Registration: $55 Watkins Teaching Center 138 | Available for teacher recertification Passport to Retirement is an in-depth, retirement planning seminar that covers a broad range of financial topics to help attendees maximize their investments, reduce the burden of taxes, and prepare for a successful retirement. It has been taught at Anderson University since the spring of 2014. At the conclusion of the course, participants have a no-obligation opportunity for a one-on-one investment analysis and risk tolerance analysis with the instructor. During the personal follow-up meeting, participants may ask financial planning questions that were too personal to discuss during the class. This two-pronged approach of in-class learning with a confidential follow-up meeting is an effective way for participants to build financial confidence as they plan toward retirement. There is no solicitation from the course instructor after the two class sessions and personal follow-up meeting.

HISTORY, LITERATURE, & RELIGION Great Decisions

Thursday, April 4, 11, 18, 25, May 2, 9, 16, 23 | Vandiver Hall 201 4:30- 6:00 pm | Registration: $20 | Available for teacher recertification *In addition, participants are encouraged to order the Great Decisions Briefing Book for $25 plus shipping. Having the briefing book in advance of each class allows participants to be prepared to discuss the topic of each day. To order the Briefing Book, visit fpa.org or call (800) 477-5836 Monday-Friday, 10am-5pm. NOTE: We will use the following order of topics to be discussed by date and not necessarily by the order in the Briefing Book. April 4: Refugees and Global Migration | Mr. Al Darby Today, no countries have open borders. Every state in today’s global system has its own laws and policies about who is permitted to cross its borders and how they will do so. Who determines whether someone is a refugee or a migrant? How have different countries, including the United States, reacted to migration? How effective are the international laws, policies and organizations that have evolved to assist and protect refugees and migrants? April 11: The Middle East: Regional Disorder | Dr. Joyce Wood As the presidency of Donald J. Trump passes the halfway point, the Middle East remains a region in turmoil. The Trump administration has aligned itself with strongmen in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt, which along with Israel have a common goal of frustrating Iranian expansion. What will be the fallout from policy reversals such as withdrawing from the Iranian nuclear accord and moving the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem? Does the United States see a path forward in troubled states such as Syria, Yemen, Libya and Iraq? Is the United States headed toward war with Iran? April 18: Nuclear Negotiations: Back to the Future?| Dr. Charles Rains Nuclear weapons have not gone away, and the Trump administration has brought a new urgency, if not a new approach, to dealing with them. The President has met with Vladimir Putin as the New Start Treaty with Russia comes up for renewal in 2021, the first presidential summit ever with Kim Jong-un occurred to discuss denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula, and President Trump has decertified the Obama nuclear deal with Iran. To what degree should past nuclear talks guide future U.S. nuclear arms-control negotiations? Can the art of the deal apply to stabilizing our nuclear future? April 25: The Rise of Populism in Europe | Mr. Tony Mollgaard Mass migration, and the problems associated with it, have directly abetted the rise of populist parties in Europe. Opposition to immigration was the prime driver of support for Brexit; it brought a far-right party to the German Bundestag for the first time since the 1950s and propelled Marine Le Pen to win a third of the vote in the French presidential election. In addition to calling for stronger borders, however, these parties are invariably illiberal, anti-American, anti-NATO and pro-Kremlin, making their rise a matter of serious concern for the national security interests of the United States. May 2: Decoding U.S.-China Trade| Dr. Miren Ivankovic and Dr. Bruce Lockhart Though arguably the most advanced economy in the world, the United States still uses centuries-old numbers to measure trade. These antique numbers mangle understanding of the U.S.-China trade relationship, shrinking America’s true economic size and competitiveness, while swelling China’s. Bad numbers give rise to bad policies that ultimately kill U.S. jobs and cede market share to China. What other tools can the United States employ to counter China’s unfair trade practices? There are several available, yet they remain mostly unused. May 9: Cyber Conflict and Geopolitics | Mr. Ed Lugo Cyber conflict is a new and continually developing threat, which can include foreign interference in elections, industrial sabotage and attacks on infrastructure. Russia has been accused of interfering in the 2016 presidential elections in the United States, and China is highly committed to using cyberspace as a tool of national policy. Dealing with cyber conflict will require new ways of looking at 21st century warfare. Is the United States prepared to respond to such threats? May 16: The United States and Mexico: Partnership Tested | Mr. Wayne Watson The United States and Mexico have a long, intertwined history, with both countries prominently featured in each other’s politics and agendas. The wars on drugs, immigration and trade issues have taxed the relationship over the years. What impact will new leadership in both countries have on this crucial partnership? May 23: State of the State Department and Diplomacy | Mr. Mike Kay During the Trump administration, the usual ways of conducting diplomacy have been upended. Many positions in the State Department have never been filled, and meetings with foreign leaders such as Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin have been undertaken with little advance planning. What effect are these changes having now, and how will they affect ongoing relationships between the United States and its allies and adversaries?

HISTORY Prince Maximilian and Karl Bodmer | Mr. Jim Ross Thursday, March 21, 28 | 4:30-6:00 pm Registration: $10 | Vandiver Hall 134 This class will provide an overview of their trip to the center of the American fur trade in the 1800s.

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens | Dr. Bob Hanley Wednesday, March 20, 27, April 3, 10 | 3:45-5:00 pm | Registration: $20 Vandiver Hall, Room 134 | Available for teacher recertification Set in the early 1800’s in England, Charles Dicken’s novel, Great Expectations, continues to capture our interest and imagination now centuries after its publication. With characters that step off the pages into our lives, a plot that takes many unexpected twists and turns, and a story that is filled with both love and hate, peace and violence, happiness and tragedy, we recognize that Dickens has captured in his writings humanity at its best and worst. Come and join us as we explore the world of Dickens the writer and this particular literary creation. The main character, Pip, we will learn, is full of “great expectations.” Will he realize his dream to rise from a poor orphan to become a true gentleman? Will he find that Estella is definitely his one true love? Will the choices he makes lead to a happy life or one of despair? We will learn the answers to these questions and many more in this study of Dickens’ novel.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, the townsfolk of Gander describe life in Newfoundland and how they learn of the terrorist attacks taking place in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The Gander townspeople spring into action and prepare to house, feed, clothe, and comfort the nearly 7,000 passengers. The frightened and lonely passengers desperately try to contact their families and pray for their loved ones. The travelers are initially taken aback by their hosts’ uncommon hospitality, but they slowly let their guards down and begin to bond with the quirky townsfolk and each other. The passengers are invited to be initiated as honorary Newfoundlanders. As the passengers and crew fly away to their homes, they joyously exchange stories of the immense kindness and generosity that was shown to them by the Newfoundland strangers in their time of need but not before a Muslim traveler undergoes a humiliating strip search prior to boarding. Ten years later, the crew and passengers of the once stranded planes reunite in Gander, this time by choice, to celebrate the lifelong friendships and strong connections they formed in spite of the terrorist attacks.
