Welcome We are kicking off our fall catalog with a note from one of our veteran instructors:

“

CRAIG TRIPLETT

I began my journey of T’ai Chi ten years ago, right here at BSC! I have been fortunate to have had two very encouraging instructors and both, in their own way, tried to talk me into teaching. I finally took their advice and started a few years ago and it has been a very rewarding experience. We are not just a classroom, we are a community of people who enjoy being together, learning from each other and forming lasting friendships - and enjoying the holistic benefits of T'ai Chi. The first thing most people notice as they learn the discipline of T’ai Chi is an improved sense of balance. T’ai Chi is what I call a gentle physical workout but a fairly strenuous mental exercise.

For me the mental and spiritual benefits are as important as the physical.

When COVID-19 shut down almost everything we lost our indoor practice venues. I know it's a small sacrifice, but my students and I really missed our T’ai Chi time, so as the weather warmed, we wanted to start meeting outside. In June we worked with Continuing Education and made a plan to come back home to BSC’s campus to begin practicing again, with proper social distancing!

I truly appreciate that BSC has given me the opportunity to share my passion for T’ai Chi with the people of Bismarck and the surrounding areas.

Finding My Roots: A Journey to the Home Country

This class will retrace the journey of the instructor’s grandfather, Josef Holkup, from the Czech Republic to North Dakota, a journey like the one many of your ancestors made. We will show pictures that will help explain who they were and where they came from and the lure of owning land. We will touch on the harsh realities of homesteading in North Dakota. In 2011, the instructor visited the Czech Republic, meeting many relatives, traveling as “a local rather than as a tourist.”

He saw the farmstead where his grandfather was born and a church nearly 1,000 years old that the family attended for hundreds of years. This presentation will use lecture, pictures and group discussion to help tell the story of our immigrant ancestors.

Here is your chance to visit with a senior three star Vice Admiral in the Navy! Phil only recently left active duty as one of the top US Navy Flag officers, after a distinguished 36 year career at sea and many interesting assignments all over the world.

In this lecture you will get a sense of the mission of the Navy, a look at Navy history, and what it’s currently doing. Ask Phil any question you would like about family separations, long deployments, raising 5 kids, hunting Russian submarines, flying in navy aircraft supporting our troops in Afghanistan, fighting fires, boarding and searching ships, transiting the Suez canal, the straits of Hormuz, across the Pacific (or Atlantic), and operating in the Norwegian sea in October. Phil was involved in many of the biggest naval operations in recent history and loved every minute. He’s looking forward to sharing some of his many stories and love of the sea.

Uncle Tom’s Cabin

Catch 22

Uncle Tom’s Cabin was one of the most influential books written in the 19th century, and among the greatest in sales. The class will explore how this book helped to form attitudes towards abolition and how it came to symbolize for many the struggle facing America. When President Abraham Lincoln met Stowe in 1862, he reportedly said, “So this is the little lady who made this big war.”

Jimmy Carter: A Life of Ambition and Purpose

To a country still reeling from the twin blows of Vietnam and Watergate, Jimmy Carter was seen as a breath of fresh air in 1976. Carter’s meteoric rise to the presidency is one of the greatest triumphs in American political history. His overwhelming defeat four years later is, arguably, the worst humiliation ever suffered by any president. While Carter ultimately failed politically amid inflation, gas lines, and the Iranian hostage crisis, he did succeed in tackling some of the nation’s most intractable challenges. This course will use lecture, video, and class discussion to reassess this misunderstood president and highly complex man.

testimonial I joined the OLLI Program in 2015, after retiring from my teaching career. I was concerned about adjusting to retirement, and a friend encouraged me to register for a class. I was immediately “hooked”! The idea of lifelong learning was very appealing, and I eagerly look forward to each new catalog. The talented instructors and the variety of classes offered is truly amazing.

Another gratifying part of the program is the socialization aspect and making new friendships. My biggest disappointment of the COVID shutdown was the cancellation of the Spring OLLI classes. My sincere thanks to BSC and the staff who work very hard to manage this wonderful program for the community of Bismarck! – pat klein LOG ON & REGISTER TODAY >> bismarckstate.edu/OLLI
