A Message from Dean McNutt 

College of Extended and International Education, CSUDH 

By now, many OLLI Members have heard 

me use the phrase, “The College of 

Extended and International Education 

is all about K-80 Education.” It’s a play 

on the term, K-12 or K-16 education. 

What I mean by that is CEIE provides a 

learning continuum, whether a summer reading program for 

kindergarteners, a project management training program for adult 

learners looking to advance at work or OLLI Members reading a 

play or playing social tennis for seniors. 

Going forward, I will use the term, “K-100 education” and here’s 

why. I was asked to make opening remarks at our fall Osher 

Life Long Learning Institute (OLLI) Open House. The Extended 

Education auditorium was filled with new and continuing 

members. After describing the 50 academic, continuing and 

lifelong learning courses we have in our portfolio, I said how much 

I believe in K-80 education. After my brief talk, a new member 

came to me and said, “Dean McNutt, I take umbrage with your 

remarks about K-80 learning.” I was taken aback by her comment 

and thought she might even be joking with me, but she was not. 

“You should know,” she said, “I am 95 years of age, and I am still 

learning through OLLI classes at CSUDH.” Much to my chagrin, 

I discovered we have several OLLI and Omnilore Members in their 

90’s who are engaged in active learning. So next time you hear 

me talk about the depth and breadth of our membership and the 

myriad opportunities we have for continuous learning, listen for 

the phrase, “The College of Extended and International Education 

is all about K-100 Education.” 

With that in mind, be sure to pick up your own copy of the 

OLLI summer course catalog. There are at least 20 new programs 

and topics for your consideration. 

Finally, I’d like to thank all the donors who contributed to our 

Membership campaign this year. OLLI cannot thrive without 

donors, dedicated volunteers, staff, Extended Education and 

CSUDH. We look forward to another great summer of exciting 

programming. See you around campus!

Beyond Therapy by Christopher Durang 

June 5, 12 

This fast-paced romantic comedy is about the 

bizarre first date of Bruce and Prudence, their 

lunatic therapists, Bruce’s jealous, gun-wielding 

homosexual lover Stuart, Stuart’s over-protective 

mother, and a host of odd New York characters. 

Will Bruce and Prudence find love amidst all the craziness? 

Hamlet , by William Shakespeare 

July 17, 24, 31 

A tale of murder, revenge, and a man who can’t 

make up his mind. Spurred on to take revenge 

for his father’s murder by his father’s ghost, 

but wracked throughout the play by scruples 

and doubts. Hamlet’s failure to act leaves a trail 

of corpses ending in a grand and fatal finale! 

Ghosts, murder, plots, lies, insanity, poison, 

stabbing, drowning, and duels: this dysfunctional family has a little 

something for everyone. 

King Lear by William Shakespeare 

August 14, 21, 28 

The aging king of Britain, King Lear, decides to 

step down from the throne and divide his kingdom 

evenly among his three daughters; but first he puts 

them through a test: each must tell him how much 

she loves him. The older two give him flattering 

answers. But the youngest and favorite remains 

silent. Rejection, betrayal, insanity are the results 

of Lear’s shallow and selfish decisions. Everyone gets what they 

deserve…and more. 


ART, CULTURE & LANGUAGE 

OLLI Conversation Partners 

an OLLI English Corner Event 

NEW! 

The ESL (English as a Second Language) and American Culture 

Program (ACP) at CSUDH is looking for “conversation partners” 

for casual conversations with visiting Chinese students (Jr/Sr High 

School age). No Chinese is required, just a wiliness to interact with 

these young adults from China who want to practice their English. 

The phrase English Corner (From Wikipedia) commonly applies 

to informal periods of instruction in English held at schools and 

colleges in China. These sessions are sometimes led by native 

Chinese teachers or less often by teachers who are native speakers 

of English. The emphasis in these sessions is on improving the oral 

English skills of the participants. Often the activities in primary and 

secondary schools focus on cultural activities such as Halloween, 

Thanksgiving and Christmas among other festivals and holidays 

common in English speaking countries. As an informal session the 

topics can be far ranging. Usually English Corner activities are held 

on Friday afternoons after lunch in many schools.

Diabetes and your Feet! 

NEW! 

People with diabetes are prone to foot problems that develop due 

to high blood sugar levels in the bloodstream. Over time, diabetes 

may cause nerve damage such as tingling, pain, and ulcers on 

your feet. Unfortunately, not many people know how to prevent 

and treat their diabetic foot pain, resulting in swelling, abnormal 

alignment in feet and risk of amputation. 

Because diabetes is affecting many people of all ages, Dr. Mario 

Pacada invites you for an engaging lecture about prevention, 

symptoms, and treatment methods about this growing epidemic. 

During his lecture, Dr. Pacada will provide ideas to reduce stress 

levels and how to live a healthier lifestyle. Don’t miss out on 

this opportunity to discuss your feet problems, concerns and 

receive professional advice from Dr. Pacada who experience years 

consulting patients and the community to care for their diabetes 

and feet.

feedback on progress. 

Past projects have been donated as prizes at OLLI Celebrations, 

Juneteenth and to Knots of Love.

HISTORY AND SOCIAL SCIENCE 

Into the Northwest Passage 

“In the summer of 2012 a group of adventurers boarded an 

expedition ship Clipper Adventurer in the Greenland fjord of 

Kangerlusiak and started an incredible cruise across the Arctic 

through the 

Northwest Passage. 

After visiting Innuit 

villages along the 

Greenland coast, 

they crossed the 

Davis Strait and 

entered the Northwest 

Passage at 

Lancaster Sound 

and cruised across 

Nunavut, Canada 

along the same route successfully pioneered by the famous 

Norwegian polar explorer Roald Amundsen back in 1905. 

Rich Abele is a veteran of numerous trips to the Arctic including the 

North Pole. Rich will take you on a photographic and oral journey 

to remote islands in the far northern region of Nunavut (northern 

Canada) where he encountered huge glaciers, brilliant icebergs, 

abandoned Hudson Bay Company outposts and former Royal 

Canadian Mounted Police stations. In addition to sighting 

numerous polar bears, walruses, musk oxen and innumerable 

species of arctic birds, they also landed on Beechey Island where 

some crewmembers of the ill-fated 1845 Franklin Expedition are 

buried. Few ships have

The Teagirl of Hummingbird Lane by Lisa See 

The story begins with Li-yan, an Akha girl whose family spends its 

days picking Pu’er tea in the mountains of the Yunnan Province in 

China for the equivalent of $25 a month. The Akha are a distinct 

ethnic group and hill tribe whose beliefs are animistic (everything 

has a spirit)—and emphasizes their profound connection to the 

natural world. This story follows a number of traditional childbirths, 

superstitions, adoption, life in the mountains, and coming to 

America in 1988. It’s about a girl who loses her daughter and 

leaves her traditional world behind.

San Gabriel Mission Docent-led Tour 

NEW! 

Founded in 1771 by Junipero Serra, this fortress-like structure with 

five-foot thick walls and narrow windows is a design not found 

in any other mission. Located nine miles east of downtown Los 

Angeles, at one time it covered several hundred thousand acres; 

one fourth of the wealth of California missions in stock and grain 

was credited to San Gabriel. The original vaulted roof was of a 

Moorish design patterned after the cathedral at Cordova, Spain, 

with slender capped buttresses and a six-belled campanario. One 

bell, which weighs a ton, can be heard eight miles away. The 

hammered copper baptismal font was a gift of King Carlos III 

of Spain and the six priceless altar statues were brought around 

the Horn from Spain in 1791. The winery, kitchen gardens and 

graveyard are still intact and the museum exhibits old books, Indian 

paintings and parchments. 

The 21 missions that comprise California’s Historic Mission Trail are 

all located on or near Highway 101, which roughly traces El Camino 

Real (The Royal Road) named in honor of the Spanish monarchy 

which financed the expeditions into California in the quest for 

empire. From San Diego to Los Angeles, the historic highway is now 

known as Interstate 5. From Santa Clara to San Francisco, the road 

is called State Highway 82. North of San Francisco, Highway 101 

again picks up the trail to the mission at San Rafael. From there, 

State Highway 37 leads to the last mission at Sonoma.

SPECIAL EVENTS 

AARP Driver Safety 

This class will promote safe driving and help older drivers maintain 

their mobility and independence. One of the most significant 

demographic factors changing in our nation’s future is the aging 

of the population. The number of people age 50+ has grown 

significantly in the past decade and this segment will continue 

to increase more rapidly than any other age group in the United 

States. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that by the 2030, one in 

four drivers will be 65 or older, which translates into more than 30 

million drivers! 

This course is intended to help drivers live more independently as 

they age and remain safe on today’s roads. Since the program’s 

inception in 1979, more than 15 million participants have 

completed the course. The course will cover defensive driving 

techniques and: 

• Maintaining proper following distance 

• Minimizing the effect of dangerous blind spots 

• Limiting driver distractions such as, eating, smoking, and 

cell phone use 

• Properly using safety belts, air bags, and all car features 

• Effects of medication on driving 

• Maintaining physical flexibility 

• Monitoring the driving skills and capabilities of yourself 

and others 

Please join us in this fun and informative class. Upon completion, 

attendees receive an auto insurance discount certificate good for 

three years. Please consult your insurance agent for details.

(AFL) America’s First Ladies 

Their husbands have been President but First Ladies have interesting 

lives and stories too. One of the most underestimated—and 

challenging—positions in the world, the First Lady of the United 

States must be many things: an inspiring leader with a forwardthinking 

agenda of her own; a savvy politician, skilled at navigating 

the treacherous rapids of Washington; a wife and mother 

operating under constant scrutiny; and an able CEO responsible 

for the smooth operation of countless services and special events 

at the White House. Compare and contrast the two most recent 

First Ladies for example. Some have helped shape the country’s 

history—think Eleanor Roosevelt—while others have been absolute 

supporters of their husbands—think Lady Bird Johnson—and others 

have been forces in their own right—think Hillary Clinton. There are 

many books that touch on the lives of and impacts of First Ladies, 

so choosing a text should be easy.

Bill Gates has been quoted as saying that if he were considered

to see the consequences of that in the race to develop artificial

The concept of AI in general has been explored by others, such as 

Nick Bostrom in Superintelligence, and has been promoted by 

Ray Kurzweil and worried about by Elon Musk and others. 

This book takes a practical look: who’s gonna be firstist with

Hello World: Being Human in the 

Age of Algorithms, 1st Edition 

by Hannah Fry (September 2-18) 

(ALG) A Look Inside the Algorithms 

That Are Shaping Our Lives and 

The Dilemmas They Bring With Them 

Hello World takes us on a tour through the good, the bad, and the 

downright ugly of the algorithms that surround us on a daily basis. 

Mathematician Hannah Fry reveals their inner workings, showing 

us how algorithms are written and implemented, and demonstrates 

the ways in which human bias can literally be written into the code. 

By weaving in relatable, real world stories with accessible explanations 

of the underlying mathematics that power algorithms, Hello 

World helps us to determine their power, expose their limitations, 

and examine whether they really are improvement on the human 

systems they replace. 


On Saudi Arabia: Its People, Past, 

Religions, Fault Line—And Future, 

by Karen Elliot House (September 2012) 

(ARA) On Saudi Arabia: Its People, Past, 

Religions, Fault Line—and Future 

We hear a lot about Saudi Arabia and the antics of Crown Prince 

Muhammed bin Salim in the news these days and wonder why the 

United States continues to align ourselves with this rogue nation. 

Why is Saudi Arabia different from other Arab states? How did it 

become that way? And what are the forces that keep it in place? 

Karen Elliot House, former diplomatic correspondent, foreign editor 

and publisher of the Wall Street Journal, is the author of this 

authoritative book on present-day Saudi Arabia. She spent five years 

visiting Saudi Arabia, observing, talking to people and analyzing 

what she learned all in preparation for this book. She interviewed 

Saudi princes as well as the poorest citizens and, being a woman, 

had access to Saudi women and their stories. Ms. House presents 

many issues including widespread poverty, restlessness of the 

citizens and clergy, royal family conflicts, suppression of women 

and failed attempts to broaden the economy. 



(ASP) Art and Science of Prediction 

Superforecasters are clever (with a good mental attitude), but not 

necessarily geniuses. Accurately selected amateur forecasters (and 

the confidence they had in their forecasts) were often more accurately 

tuned than experts. If you’re wondering if there’s any way to 

predict an election, an economic crisis or even a war, our authors 

have an answer. They use psychology and political science and a 

lot of common sense combined into a general approach to decision 

making, and they tap into what’s often called the wisdom of 

crowds. Our common reading is a fascinating book and it will make 

you think. In particular, to think about the future. Superforecasting 

has been termed “The most important book on decision making 

since Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking, Fast and Slow.”

No Common Reading. 

(DOC) The Documentary Movie 

Not long ago, if you wanted to see a documentary film, you 

had to take a course, go to a movie festival, or catch it on PBS. 

Nowadays we can find documentaries on our TVs through the 

magic of the Internet, Netflix and other online sources or from our 

libraries. While your basic Hollywood studio movie is primarily made 

to make money, a documentary is the expression of its creator’s 

personal passion. This S/DG will explore the world of modern 

masters of the documentary. Presenters will choose a film that class 

members can view at home before each class session, and then 

present for discussion whatever facets of the film they choose—the 

contents or subject, the techniques, the background, the director’s 

focus on the subject, and its effect on public opinion. Many 

Omniloreans after taking this class have been amazed at the 

diversity of what is available and how many of these films are 

unexpectedly enriching. 


The Sunflower: On the Possibilities 

and Limitations of Forgiveness 

by Simon Wiesenthal 

(revised/expanded edition, 2008) 

(FGV) Forgiveness: Possibilities and Limitations 

In this important book, fifty-three distinguished men and women 

respond to Wiesenthal’s questions. They are theologians, political 

leaders, writers, jurists, psychiatrists, human rights activists, 

Holocaust survivors, and victims of attempted genocides in Bosnia, 

Cambodia, China and Tibet. Their responses, as varied as their 

experiences of the world, remind us that Wiesenthal’s questions 

are not limited to events of the past. 

The first portion of the book is by Simon Wiesenthal himself. 

It is about his time in a concentration camp and his daily journey 

to a hospital to work. As he passes a cemetery that has sunflowers 

growing on the graves, he reflects on how he will be remembered 

and how he will not have flowers or butterflies on his burial spot. 

The second part of the book has over 50 essays by people like 

Sven Alkakaj, the Dali Lama, Dennis Prager, Mathieu Ricard, 

Desmond Tutu, etc. 



(GOV) The Fifth Risk: Why Government Matters 

The title “Fifth Risk” comes from an analysis of the great risks 

confronted by a department such as Energy, which worries about 

nuclear accidents or an attack on the electrical grid. The “fifth risk” 

was the bland-sounding category of “program management” that 

could be defined as the tendency to respond to long-term risks with 

short-term solutions. 

As Lewis writes, neither Donald Trump nor his closest advisers had 

much appreciation, let alone reverence, for the functions of the 

government they were about to inherit after the 2016 election. 

Instead, they seemed to have an indifference bordering on contempt. 

Lewis examines the real-world consequences of such an attitude, 

using examples from three Government departments: Energy, 

Commerce, and Agriculture. 


The Fifth Risk, by Michael Lewis 

(October 2018) 

(MAG) Magic of the Universe 

We don’t consider someone educated unless they’re familiar with 

literature, etc. Yet we think nothing of being scientifically illiterate. 

Here’s a chance to fix that. In just seven chapters and 80 pages 

Carlo Rovelli wrote a N Y Times bestseller that truly broadens your 

horizons. It covers the biggest ideas in physics, the biggest ideas 

about our universe. It was called Elegant and Poetic by NPR. 

Physics is the concrete explanation of the magic of the universe. 

It is the search for the truth about how everything in the universe 

operates interdependently on a grand scale (galaxies) and on the 

minute scale. This search, at times, has been fraught with the real 

danger of losing your life. Galileo was almost burned at the stake, 

commuted to life imprisoned under house arrest, for simply saying 

that the Earth revolved around the Sun.

Imperial Twilight: The Opium War 

and the End of China’s Last Golden 

Age, by Stephen R. Platt (May 2018) 

(OWC) The Opium War In China 

Few historical events were more significant in China’s modern 

history than the Opium War. It ended in a humiliating defeat and a 

treaty which set a disastrous pattern for the century to come. 

“The symbolic power of the Opium War is limitless. It set in motion 

the eventual fall of the Qing dynasty—which in turn led to the rise 

of nationalism and communism. The Opium War has come to stand 

for everything that today’s China seeks to put behind it.” In his new 

book Imperial Twilight, well-regarded historian Stephen Platt 

dramatically tells the story of “one of the most shockingly unjust 

wars in the annals of imperial history. This riveting narrative of 

relations between China and the West has important implications 

for today’s uncertain and everchanging political climate.” 


How Paris Became Paris: The Invention 

of the Modern City, 

by Joan DeJean (April 2015) 

(PAR) How Paris Became Paris 

At the beginning of the seventeenth century, Paris was known for 

isolated monuments but had not yet put its “brand” on urban 

space. Like other European cities, it was still emerging from its 

medieval past. But in a mere century Paris would be transformed 

into the modern and mythic city we know today. 

A century of planned development made Paris both beautiful and 

exciting. It gave people reasons to be out in public as never before 

and as nowhere else. And it gave Paris its modern identity as a 

place that people dreamed of seeing. By 1700, Paris had become 

the capital that would revolutionize our conception of the city and 

of urban life. 



(PLT) The Seven Basic Plots to Stories 

It is often heard that there are only so many story lines or plots to 

all of the novels, movies, plays and tales that we read or see. Now 

here is an author that has both spelled them out, and explained 

how many stories we are familiar with fit into his categories. 

He discusses stories as varied as those from the Greeks, the 

Movies, Fairy Tales, Shakespeare and contemporary literature. 

From Gilgamesh (the oldest written story known) and Beowulf 

to Star Wars and the Lord of the Rings. He shows how they all 

fit into his scheme of plots. 

His seven plots are: (1) Overcoming the Monster, (2) Rags to 

Riches, (3) The Quest, (4) Voyage and Return, (5) Comedy, 

(6) Tragedy, and (7) Rebirth. 


The Seven Basic Plots: Why We 

Tell Stories, by Christopher Booker 

(January 31, 2005) 

(RAC) Learning To Talk About Racism 

What does it mean to be white in a society that proclaims race is 

meaningless, yet is deeply divided by race? In the face of racial 

inequity, most white people cannot answer that. This S/DG will look 

at the factors that make this question so difficult: mis-education 

about what racism is; ideologies such as individualism and colorblindness; 

segregation; and the belief that to be complicit in 

racism is to be an immoral person. These factors contribute to 

what is considered white racial illiteracy. White people in the 

United States often grow up without having to talk or think about 

race and fail to build up the tolerance needed for discussions of 

any depth on the topic. But racism is a topic of frequent social 

discourse. 

This S/DG is designed to take an honest and current look at racism 

and says it’s time for white people to practice building stamina for 

the critical examination of white identity, to break out of the cycle 

of defensiveness and engage more constructively in conversations 

about racism.

White People to Talk About Racism,

Tyrant: Shakespeare on Politics, 

by Stephen Greenblatt (May 2018) 

[Note: This book is sold in the UK 

under the title Tyrant: Shakespeare On 

Power; same book—just different title] 

(STY) Shakespeare’s Tyrants 

Omnilore has a deep fondness for Shakespeare’s plays and the bard 

himself. This S/DG would look at the playwright’s insight into bad 

(and often mad) rulers. As an aging, tenacious Elizabeth I clung to 

power, a talented playwright probed the social causes, the psychological 

roots, and the twisted consequences of tyranny like Richard 

III, Macbeth, and Lear. Shakespeare delved into the lust for absolute 

power and the catastrophic consequences of its execution. 

With uncanny insight, he shone a spotlight on the infantile psychology 

and unquenchable narcissistic appetites of demagogues—and 

the cynicism and opportunism of the various enablers and hangers-on 

who surround them—and imagined how they might be 

stopped. The political and social aspects of a society in crisis fascinated 

Shakespeare and shaped some of his most memorable plays. 


Weather: An Illustrated History, 

by Andrew Revkin (May 1, 2018) 

(WEA) The History of Weather 

From Amazon: Colorful and captivating, Weather: An Illustrated 

History hopscotches through 100 meteorological milestones and 

insights, from prehistory to today’s headlines and tomorrow’s 

forecasts. Bite-sized narratives, accompanied by exciting 

illustrations, touch on such varied topics as Earth’s first atmosphere, 

the physics of rainbows, the deadliest hailstorm, Groundhog Day, 

the invention of air conditioning, London’s Great Smog, the Year 

Without Summer, our increasingly strong hurricanes, and the 

Paris Agreement on climate change. Written by a prominent and 

award-winning environmental author and journalist, this is a 

groundbreaking illustrated book that traces the evolution of 

weather forecasting and climate science. 


UNIVERSITY COURSES for OLLI Members 

A program for OLLI Members who want to 

participate in University courses 

Eligibility to enroll in regular campus courses through the OLLI 

University program for a significantly reduced fee is one of the 

membership benefits of OLLI at CSUDH. 

The OLLI University program allows individuals to enroll in regular 

campus classes without being admitted to the University. Transcripts, 

application and other documentation are not required. However, 

instructor permission is required to participate in a course, and 

OLLI University students are accepted on a space available basis. 

The regular Open University fee is $311 per unit for undergraduate 

courses, and $369 per unit for graduate courses, but OLLI Members 

may audit courses for only $30 per unit. 

Note: Enrollment as an auditor 

means the student does not take tests 

or complete graded assignments. 

At the discretion of the instructor an 

auditor may be required to participate 

in classroom activities. 

You are invited to view the 

Open University Class 

Schedule online by visiting the 

Extended Education website at 

www.csudh.edu/ceie 

OLLI Members may audit campus 

courses for $30 per unit. 

The process is easy. 

1. Pick up an Open University class schedule from the 

Extended Education Registration office. 

2. Find the course you would like to enroll in. 

3. Fill out the registration forms in the Open University 

class schedule. 

4. Bring the completed registration form to the first class 

meeting and ask the instructor to sign the form. 

5. Then return the signed and completed form to the 

Extended Education Registration office and pay fees. 

6. You will be enrolled in the course on an audit basis 

and receive an “AU” on your transcript for the course.

CODES OF CONDUCT 

OLLI @ CSUDH 

Codes of Conduct 

NEW! 

Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at California State University, 

Dominguez Hills (OLLI@CSUDH) is a community of active 

mature lifelong learners. The College of Extended and International 

Education (CEIE) is committed to maintaining a safe and 

healthy learning environment for OLLI Members, students, faculty, 

and staff. Many of our programs offer a forum for a lively 

and sometimes passionate exchange of views. Members of our 

learning community are expected to follow principles of courtesy 

and mutual respect that promote reasoned discourse and engage 

in responsible behaviors that reflect well upon the university. 

To be civil to one another, to others in the campus community, 

and contribute positively to OLLI Members, students, faculty, 

staff, and university life. 

Violations include conduct that threatens or endangers the 

health or safety of any person within or related to the University 

community, including but not limited to physical abuse, threats, 

intimidation, harassment, sexual misconduct, denigrating others’ 

views or opinions, offensive or abusive language, disruptive 

classroom conduct, discrimination, and monopolizing discussions. 

Failure to treat ideas, viewpoints, the classroom environment, 

and interests of members in the community with respect and 

civility compromises the intellectual climate at OLLI and cannot 

be tolerated. 

The OLLI Director and CEIE leadership are responsible for ensuring 

that the Code of Conduct is being followed in all OLLI-sponsored 

programs. Members who do not adhere to these principles or 

interfere with the goals of our learning community may be 

removed from the class and/or activities and denied the privilege 

of future participation at the discretion of the OLLI Director 

and CEIE Leadership.
