    Pre-requisite: Class participants should have at least one year of investment experience and a good understanding of high school math

    Join us for a comprehensive discussion in layman’s terms of how long-term retirement investment portfolios are constructed. This course gives the average investor the intellectual muscle to both understand and challenge their professional advisor’s recommendations and actions.

    Gain an in-depth understanding of optimal portfolio construction to either 1) gain the optimal level of annual average return at a pre-specified level of risk, or 2) minimize the potential risk of loss at a targeted level of future average annual return.

    This disciplined investment process is based on Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT), the process utilized by the most sophisticated investment teams on Wall Street. While investment risk can never be completely eliminated, MPT has proven to be the best portfolio construction methodology for managing risk in pursuit of optimal portfolio performance since its design and inception in 1952.

    Catalog correction: This is a one-time lecture. The course description in the printed Spring catalog should read:
    This single-day, 2-hour lecture first describes how research on the remains of perished medieval pilgrims reveals much about their life history, physical condition especially prior nutrition, and likely causes of their demise. The second hour then explores the haunting shells of abandoned medieval monasteries that modern travelers come across, how those communities dwindled and died leaving behind monuments of culture and faith.”

    Although the “formal” historical record of Lincoln’s assassination clearly established that John Wilkes Booth and a small cohort of followers murdered Abraham Lincoln and attempted to kill other high government officials, a number of different – and captivating – conspiracies theories have emerged, gained traction, and achieved varying levels of prominence and support over the past 158 years. This course will endeavor to “unpack” these major conspiracy theories and probe their geneses as well as the “evidence” supporting each of the seven major conspiracy theories associated with the assassination of Lincoln.

    Fee: $0.00

    Guadalcanal is a 90-mile-long island in the Solomons and the site of the first land offensive by the U.S. Marines in the South Pacific in World War II. Beginning 8 months after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor (December 7, 1941) and two months after the U.S. Navy’s victory at the Battle of Midway (June 4-7, 1942), the battle for Guadalcanal was a desperate, seven-month struggle by land, sea, and air forces between the United States and Japan. It was Japan’s first major defeat on land. Casualties were high on both sides. This class will provide an overview of the major events that occurred. Instructor Delano has a personal interest in this historic World War II battle because his uncle – a Marine PFC in the 1st Marine Division – was killed in action here on August 13, 1942 during the infamous Goettge Patrol.

    Expect a small and highly interactive class where you may be surprised that your situation is not as rare as you think – and the answer(s) to your self-doubt, worry, and/or despair may lie within the learned wisdom of others.

    We will examine a number of common life challenges in a sharing and empathetic environment. Roundtable discussion will consider the first steps toward a better tomorrow through the exchange of information, insights, and collective experiences. Join us!

    "Have you read a good book recently? Do you want to tell others? Is the book nonfiction? Is it about a time in United States history prior to 1878? Do you want to learn about similar books from Osher students?

    If you are answering yes to all questions, you belong in this class. Each student brings an open mind and ears, plus a readiness to discuss their required reading book choice that is / non-fiction / about U.S. history / covers a time prior to 1878 /

    Classroom experience: Students discuss the book they read, listen to others talk about their book, reference in-class handouts, and make notes. The instructor facilitates the discussion. Students may disagree about books. However, they do so with respectful disagreement, rather than disagreeableness."

    An issue consistently discussed in our society is how to ensure “The Ends of Justice” is fulfilled in dealing with criminal offenses, the objective being to find the proper balance to protect the statutory rights of an individual while ensuring society’s laws and welfare are enforced.
    This course uses the Department of Defense’s (DoD) clemency and parole program as a vehicle to examine this issue.
    It presents the myriad procedures and factors, including Victim’s Rights, which are considered when deciding “when” to release inmates to integrate back into society.
    DoD’s Clemency and Parole Boards make and execute decisions concerning clemency, parole, and supervised release of military inmates.
    Board members consider many factors, such as: nature, circumstances of offense(s); confinement file, including offense-related rehabilitation programs; impact on victim(s); and protection and welfare of society.
    Learners will experience the decision-making process by evaluating such factors during interactive class discussions of case studies.

    If you’ve thought about teaching an Osher class but wonder what is involved or how to proceed, then this class is for you. In this two-hour session, a panel of veteran Osher instructors will answer your questions and explain how to get started. These colleagues will guide you through the process of becoming an instructor and proposing a course. They will provide insight about the kinds of courses our members like and the best teaching methods for adult learners. They will help you figure out how to organize, deliver, and present your course. And, if you are interested, these instructors will work with you as you propose your first course and prepare to teach. Everyone has a special area of interest, hobby, and experience. Consider sharing yours with Osher at W&M members. You’ll wonder why you waited so long!

    The class is open to members and non-members alike. Registration is required to attend this workshop; Osher membership is not.
