Welcome Lifelong Learners to our exciting Fall 2009 Term...

August 2009

A message from USCB Chancellor Jane T. Upshaw:

Welcome to the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at USCB’s 2009/2010 academic year.

We are thrilled that you have chosen to join one of the largest and most dynamic lifelong learning programs in the nationwide Osher network.

This makes the fourth year of our affiliation with the Osher Foundation, and a wonderful relationship continues to allow our program to grow and thrive. When we joined the Osher network in 2005, we had 650 members who generated 4,500 registrations annually in 180 classes. We are now up to more than 1270 OLLI members; and last year they generated more than 9,000 registrations in our 370 classes. The program has doubled in size and scope since we have been affiliated with the Osher Foundation‐ a very successful collaboration indeed!

Our big news this past year was that the Bernard Osher Foundation granted OLLI at USCB a second endowment gift of $1 million. This second endowment is recognition that OLLI at USCB is in very rare company of the 126 OLLIs nationwide, only 13 have received $2 million endowments from Osher. OLLI at USCB is in the top 10% of Osher Lifelong Learning Institutes in the country, and all of this is in your backyard!

This Fall term you are going to find more than 200 classes to choose from, which again sets a new record for us. Our expectation is that between Fall 2009 and Spring 2010 terms we will offer more than 400 OLLI classes. We think you will enjoy the wide variety of subjects and wonderful instructors, and we are committed to providing you an exciting, challenging and ever‐changing educational program.

Finally, I want to invite you to a special USCB celebration. This coming year will be a major milestone for the University of South Carolina Beaufort as we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding of our institution as a campus of the USC system.

We are planning a number of special events throughout the year in celebration and I invite all OLLI members to come and help us recognize this notable landmark. We will notify you of these events through the OLLI OUTREACH and through the local media.

There is so much going on here at USCB. Please join us for our 50th anniversary celebration, and take full advantage of our nationally recognized OLLI program. You are a valuable and highly valued member of the USCB community.

With best regards,

Jane T. Upshaw, Ph.D.

Shrimp Boat Cruise & Fort King George Tuesday, October 6, 2009 A bus day trip for OLLI Members

Member Cost: $110 all inclusive (Transportation, shrimp boat cruise, tours, lunch, tips)

Cruise the creeks and sound around Brunswick, GA aboard the Lady Jane, a refurbished shrimp trawler.

Afterwards, visit the oldest English fort on the GA coast, Fort King George, at Darien. A costumed interpreter will tell you about this reconstructed 18th century cypress fortification and a film shows the history of the Galle Indians and Scottish Highlands Oglethorpe brought to the area.

...Experience the Power of Lifelong Learning

............................

We need your help

...........................

Do you enjoy the programs offered by OLLI? Do you want to keep this wonderful program fresh and exciting?

Please consider donating

to the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at USCB.

We Need You! OLLI succeeds because of the contributions of a number of wonderful volunteers, but in addition we rely on funding to cover our operational costs.

By state law, our program must be self-sustaining.

We receive no monetary support from USCB or any governmental entity.

We depend upon membership and term fees, the generosity of the Bernard Osher Foundation, and donations from caring and concerned individuals and companies.

How do we use these funds?

•

Funding has made possible a major expansion of our program over the past few years. In three years, OLLI membership has grown by 95%, and the number of classes that we offer has tripled. This trend continues -- we will offer well over 400 classes this year (which will be a new record.) Your donations help keep our offerings new, intellectually challenging, and exciting.

•

Funding also makes possible our annual Distinguished Lecture Symposium, as well as our Special Lecture Series. These series bring renowned scholars to this area. We work hard to make these lectures timely and intellectually stimulating, and we are already working on these special lectures for the coming year.

• •

And of course, these funds cover our everyday operational expenses—the infrastructure that makes all of this possible- e.g. to lease classroom space at Pineland Station on Hilton Head, advertising, promotional material to attract new instructors and members, staff salaries, equipment, etc.

Please consider a donation to help OLLI continue to grow and thrive.

Use the membership application or registration form to donate. It is as simple as that!

Thank you for your help— Your donation will make a difference.
