DIRECTOR’S CORNER
As this is the last OLLI catalog that I will be responsible for I wanted to express my
appreciation for having a great four and a half years. I feel so fortunate to have had the
opportunity to serve as your Director. I think this OLLI program is absolutely incredible!
The combination of OLLI students, the instructors, the UTEP faculty and this great
campus, have made an incredibly enriching experience.
I’ve had a wonderful time getting to know many of you on a personal level! I am so
grateful to everyone of you who has volunteered in one way or another over the past few years. This program
runs so much better when there are many contributors! THANKS EVERYONE!
In case some of you don’t know, Lynn Provenzano will be the new executive director. Lynn has been a part of
OLLI for many years and already knows many OLLI members. Over the years she has focused on teaching
Meditation and Pranic healing. In her other life she has worked in commercial, educational and non-profit
worlds in various capacities including teaching and administration. I hope you will all give her the same level of
support that you have given me!
I think that this coming semester’s catalog really has something for everyone!. Some new classes and
instructors and some of the regulars. From hands-on art opportunities to some very academically stimulating
topics like Gothic literature or legal philosophy.
We will be continuing our registration policy of a level playing field for all members whether you call, come in
or mail in your registration. PLEASE don’t come early and expect to get priority. Everyone has the same
chance of getting into the classes that they want.
Lastly I would like to encourage all of you to make a special donation to OLLI and UTEP. President Natalicio
was instrumental in starting OLLI and supporting the program for all of these years! We should all take part in
the “Thank You for 30” Campaign. You can designate your donation to the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute!
Have a great Holiday Season and a wonderful new year!!
Ian Wilson

The Interaction Between Political Theory and
Philosophy Of Religion In Modern Democracies

This course will survey these arguments but only as background to questions about whether constitutional democracies should mirror theological inclusivism, exclusivism, or pluralism, which involve debates about the nature and legitimacy of the state (i.e., classical debates in political philosophy and theory).

Tutti Frutti JESUS G BURCIAGA
Habrá de todo como en botánica. Aprenda a nombrar a las cosas por su verdadero nombre: al pan, pan y, al café colón. Precisé cuando hay ansiedad, nostalgia y sentimiento de culpa, así como de estrés. Ríase del pasado que transcurrió y no se preocupe porque no sucederá. Por qué, entonces, ¿tanto brinco estando el suelo tan parejo? ¿Cómo anda su inteligencia emocional?

✓ Class Minimums: The minimum enrollment for most classes is 20. In a few exceptions a lower minimum is set due to classroom space or the nature of the class (i.e. art classes that require one on one instruction.)
✓ Class Maximum: Class size is determined by the instructor or the room that is available. Class size limits must be followed for comfort and safety! (The maximum class size for the Miners Hall rooms is 42).
✓ Extra fees: There will be additional fees for classes that run 12 weeks, are longer than 1.5 hours, or have a limited number of students to provide more individualized attention. These fees are used strictly to pay the instructor for the additional time of instruction.
✓ Class Cancellations: Classes that do not meet the minimum enrollment do not ‘make’, will be cancelled. If a class does not make, enrollees will be notified three days prior to the start of class.
✓ Schedule Changes: Due to circumstances beyond our control, class dates, instructors, times and locations are subject to change. OLLI will make every effort possible to notify you in advance, about schedule or instructor changes.
✓ Refund Policy: If all the classes you sign up for are canceled, you may receive a refund or you may take a credit for a following semester. There are NO refunds after classes begin.
