OASIS puts into practice the
findings of the landmark MacArthur
Foundation study of Aging in America.
Researchers Rowe and Kahn found
that the key ingredients for a high
quality of life are maintaining a low
risk for disease, a high level of
engagement with the community, and
high physical and cognitive function, and
“it is the combination of all three
that represents the concept of
successful aging fully.”

CNY Reads Presents Oh! What a Lovely War
110
Based on the popular stage show, this 1969 film
redefines the tragedy of WWI in bawdy music-hall
terms, presenting the war as the “new attraction” at
Britain’s Brighton Amusement Pier. Director Richard
Attenborough used dazzling camera work and a mix of
history, satire and music to capture the spirit of the time
and the enormity of the loss. Actors include Laurence
Olivier, John Gielgud, Maggie Smith, several Redgraves
and John Mills. A discussion will follow.
Please join us for this free film viewing, part of the year’s
CNY Reads programming of The First of July. Note: This
class is FREE and exempt from the $20 registration
processing fee.

An Exploration of the Short Story—Part II
111
One of the most popular literary genres, the short story,
has wide appeal. Beginning in America with Washington
Irving, it has spread internationally for well over two
hundred years. Because of its brevity and entertainment
value, the short story continues to provide richness and
diversity to readers the world over.
With informal lectures, seminar discussions and
film excerpts, we will examine a series of works by
American, Canadian, European and Russian authors.
These will include such writers as Chekhov, Chopin,
Bierce, Collier, O’Connor, McCullers, Porter, Faulkner,
Welty, Cheever, Salinger, Updike, Trevor, Allen, Munro,
Oates and Atwood. Please read Chekhov’s An Upheaval,
Bierce’s Chickamauga, and Kate Chopin’s The Story of
an Hour for the first class. (All are available online or in
anthologies). Note: You do need to have taken Part I to

Fanny Seward: A Life
112
Trudy Krisher, Author of Fanny Seward: A Life
and retired Professor, Department of Liberal Arts,
Communication, and Social Sciences, Sinclair
Community College, Dayton, Ohio
In Fanny Seward: A Life, biographer Trudy Krisher
provides a vivid portrait of the young Auburn girl who
was eyewitness to one of the most tumultuous periods
in American history: the American Civil War. On April
14, 1865, the night of President Lincoln’s assassination,
Booth’s conspirator Lewis Powell attempted to assassinate
Fanny’s father, Secretary of State William Seward, in his
home just blocks from Ford’s Theatre. The attack, which
left Seward and his son seriously wounded, is recounted
in poignant detail in Fanny Seward’s diary. Fanny, the
beloved only daughter of Seward, was a keen observer,
and her diary entries from 1858 to 1866 are the foundation
of Krisher’s biography.
Fanny offers intimate observations on the politicians,
generals and artists of the time. She tells of attending
dinner parties, visiting troops and going to the theater,
often alongside President Abraham Lincoln and his
wife, Mary. Through Fanny’s writings, Krisher not
only skillfully brings to life the events and activities of
a progressive political family but also illuminates the
day-to-day drama of the war. Giving readers a previously
unseen glimpse into the era, Fanny Seward: A Life
broadens our understanding of Civil War America.
Fanny Seward: A Life will be available for purchase at
the end of class. Note: Class is exempt from the $20

Abandoned: The Untold Story of 113
Orphan Asylums
Michael Keene, Author of Abandoned: The Untold Story
of Orphan Asylums
Abandoned presents eye-opening, true-to-life tales of
the desperation of a million Irish immigrants seeking to
find better conditions in the United States after leaving
behind the famine they experienced in their homeland
in 1848. Unfortunately, upon settling in the Five Points
area of Lower Manhattan, they would find only squalor,
gang violence and disease. Within a few years, there were
an estimated 30,000 orphaned and homeless children
roaming the streets of New York City. To survive, they
resorted to petty crime, begging and selling newspapers
for a nickel a piece. Most slept in alleyways, cellars and
even sewers, ultimately joining the violent street gangs of
the Bowery Boys and the Dead Rabbits for protection. As
a result of this crisis, the Age of Orphan Asylums began,
culminating in one of the most improbable and audacious
episodes in American history, known as the Orphan Train
Movement. From 1854 to 1929, approximately 250,000
orphaned children would be relocated to the Midwest to
live with farming families, many as indentured servants.
Today there are only 50-100 original orphan train riders
still alive. Michael Keene, the award-winning author
of Abandoned, will tell about this troubling time in our
history. His book will be available for purchase at the end
of class. Note: Class is exempt from the $20 registration
processing fee.

Michael Keene, Author of Mad House: The Hidden
History of Insane Asylums in 19th-Century New York
Discover the details of 19th-century insane asylums in
Michael Keene’s latest historical venture, Mad House.
With vivid detail and deep research, readers will travel
through the lineage and architecture of the asylums in
New York. While walking in the footsteps of history’s
mentally ill, readers will continue to be amazed at
patients’ treatment, their stories and the ever-evolving
world of mental health in the United States. Mad House
specifically looks into the insane asylum wards of 19thcentury New York and the rich assortment of doctors
8
and patients that inhabited them. Be prepared to be both
educated and entertained as you follow along with Keene
and the sad but engaging inhabitants in the hidden history
of New York insane asylums. The book will be available
for purchase at the end of class. Note: Class is exempt

Unpuzzling Your Past: Write Your Family History Step by Step

Lisa Alzo, MFA Nonfiction Writing, Author and

When researching family history, we often uncover so
much information that our research produces nothing but
boring lists. This course will demonstrate how to bring
your family tree to life by placing family stories in an
historical context. You will learn
• how to organize material and break down your writing
tasks into small manageable pieces.
• effective ways to illustrate where your family fits in
with local, national and world history.
• how to blend historical fact with family stories to
produce an accurate, interesting narrative, selecting the
best details to advance the story. There will be a few
in-class writing exercises to help get the creative juices
flowing!

of Russian opera, represented by the works of such
composers as Glinka, Mussorgsky, Borodin, Tchaikovsky,
Rimsky-Korsakov, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Sviridov,
Schnittke and Shostakovich, among others. We will
10
discuss Russian opera’s origins and development through
different periods–Classical, Early and Late Romantic,
and 20th Century through the present. We will trace
the beginnings of the operatic genre in Russia from
the Imperial Court of Elizabeth, Empress of Russia, to
early influences by the tradition of Italian, French and
German operas and ties to folk music and lore. We will
also discuss Russian opera’s historical connections with
cultural, artistic, political and social tendencies which
influenced the direction of operatic genre’s development
in Russia and the former Soviet Union.
Approximately half of the class time will be devoted
to watching and listening to examples of works by
representative composers and artists. The other half will
encompass instructor-led discussion, accompanied by
digital copy outlining the discussed material.

A Dynamic Dozen: Additional Treasures124
from Hollywood’s Miracle Year, 1939
Susan Edwards Harvith, MMP, Museum Practice, the
University of Michigan; former Syracuse University
faculty member; and interviewer of legendary film and
television figures
After three quarters of a century, movie lovers and film
historians alike continue to marvel over the cinematic
richness of 1939 Hollywood. This course will examine
a dynamic dozen film masterpieces released during
that momentous year, which not only marked the tenth
anniversary of the movie industry’s total conversion to
all-talking pictures, but also the start of WWII. This
was the year that a galaxy of Hollywood stars had a
momentous opportunity to shine as they never had before,
and students will see unforgettable performances by,
among others, Jean Arthur, Fred Astaire, Joan Crawford,
Bette Davis, Melvyn Douglas, Errol Flynn, Greta Garbo,
Clark Gable, Judy Garland, William Holden, Carole
Lombard, Merle Oberon, Laurence Olivier, Edward
G. Robinson, Ginger Rogers, Norma Shearer, Barbara

125
Susan Edwards Harvith, MMP, Museum Practice, the

faculty member; and interviewer of legendary film and
television figures
As soon as the U.S. film industry became comfortable
making fast-talking, rapid-fire sound films, Hollywood
producers, directors, and screenwriters jumped headlong
into America’s newsrooms for stories that crackled with
excitement and snappy dialogue. This course will feature
a clutch of the most arresting examples of this genre from
1931’s The Front Page and Five Star Final to 1957’s Sweet
Smell of Success, examining the depiction of journalists
as everything from cheap gossip-mongers and sleazy
sensationalists to seekers of truth and fighters against
Fascism. With such stars as Humphrey Bogart, James
Cagney, Claudette Colbert, Tony Curtis, Gary Cooper,
Bette Davis, Clark Gable, Cary Grant, Burt Lancaster,
Edward G. Robinson, Rosalind Russell, Barbara
Stanwyck, Lee Tracy and Orson Welles, the screen sizzles
with electric performances in these classic films.
Harvith will not only provide detailed background
information about the making of the films and their
production values, but also insights into the political and
social climates they reflect.
Large-format film screenings will complement in-depth

Jewish Comedy: from Shtetl to Showbiz 126
Neal M. Hoffman, entertainer, singer, synagogue cantor
and after-dinner speaker
The word shtetl, (rhymes with kettle) has become very
significant in Jewish history, largely due to such smash
hits as Fiddler on the Roof, Milk and Honey and others
that have extended its comedy to the present day. The
shtetl was the ghetto village, usually very poor, where
Jews in Eastern Europe were forced to live. The shtetl
culture, often romanticized, was not necessarily a happy
one, but out of this adversity there grew an unprecedented
and extraordinarily rich history of comedy—commonly
referred to as Jewish Humor.
Through the use of performance DVDs and other media,
this course will describe and illustrate the sweeping arc of
this history by tracing Jewish comedy from its researched
beginning in 17th-century Eastern Europe to the
Broadway stage, of the last 40 or more years. As recently
as a few short years ago it was determined that about 7075% of American stand-up comics were Jews who used
Jewish humor as their performance vehicle. It is a rich
history, emcompassing street players, stage performances,
talking movies, TV and other entertainment media.
View performances by such Jewish comedy greats as
Myron Cohen, Sid Caesar, Mel Brooks and others. You’ll
also hear and see a DVD by Rabbi Bob Alper, one of the
newest Jewish hit comedians, who gave up his pulpit to do
stand-up comedy, and you’ll understand why! Come and
enjoy!

Safe Haven, a Story of Hope and Fulfillment
127
Neal M. Hoffman, former board member and former
President, The Safe Haven Museum and Education
Center
This little-known story of the triumph of the human spirit
took place in our own back yard, in Fort Ontario, Oswego,
New York! It was here, in August 1944, that 982 refugees
of the Holocaust were brought as guests of President
Franklin D. Roosevelt to experience temporary shelter
and establish new lives. They came from 22 different
countries—more from Yugoslavia than any other
country—and were adherents of four major religions:
Jewish, Catholic, Protestant and Eastern Orthodox.
Eighty-nine percent of the refugees were Jewish. Their
tale traces the origin of the venture, the wartime voyage
across the Atlantic, their lives in Fort Ontario and the
subsequent lives and achievements of the people involved.

A History of the Cold War
128
Charles Coon, retired Social Studies Teacher, Baker
High School, adjunct Professor of History, Onondaga
Community College and SUNY College at Cortland, and
adjunct Professor of Educational Methods, SUNY College
at Oswego
Russia’s 1917 revolution impacted American domestic
and foreign policy for nearly 50 years! It would lead
to American military forays into Siberia in the 1920s,
questions about United States recognition of the Soviet
Union in the 1930s, American military assistance in the
1940s and, almost as soon as World War II ended, the
emergence of the Cold War.
The domestic hunt for Communists and Fellow Travelers
followed in the 1940s and 1950s. The 1960s witnessed
spying, CIA issues, military adventures and the
overthrow of governments in Latin America, as well as
major conflicts in Korea and Vietnam and the potential
for nuclear Armageddon.

In today’s rancorous political debates, inevitably an
opponent of almost any speaker will shout out, “Have
you read the Constitution?” The real question is, “How
are you interpreting the reading of the Constitution?” In
this class we will actually read the Constitution, and will
discuss the origins of some of the current and traditional
interpretations of key portions of the original seven
articles. Bring a copy of the Constitution that you can
write on as we engage in a good, old-fashioned document
study and have some fun, too.

The Presidents Part VII: the End 130
of an Era, Cleveland to Theodore Roosevelt
SUNY Cortland
The last two decades of the 19th Century brought
dramatic change to America. Inventions and innovations
changed lifestyles, as did urbanization, changes in
labor, mass immigration and a growing interest in
overseas expansion. The last of the Civil War Presidents,
Cleveland, Harrison and McKinley, would have to face a
rapidly changing country and challenges to the political
system brought about by a new generation of politicians
such as Theodore Roosevelt. We will continue to view
the men who occupied the presidency and their impact
on the office through this dynamic period. There is no
need to have been in prior courses to enjoy this one! Note:

The American Revolution for 132
Beginners, Part III: the Real Revolution
Session two: Matilda Joslyn Gage (1826-1898) worked
for over thirty years with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and
Susan Brownell Anthony to get the vote for women. A
resident of Fayetteville, New York, Mrs. Gage supported
abolition, espoused equality for women in every aspect
of their lives, was given the name “She Who Holds the
Sky” by the clan mothers of the Mohawk nation, and was
an unrelenting supporter of religious freedom. Gloria
Steinem has called her “the woman who was ahead of the
women who were ahead of their time.”

It can fairly be said that the real American Revolution
took place after the shooting stopped in 1783. Now it was
up to the newly independent Americans to deliver on the
promise of liberty while establishing order and stability
in a very diverse, enormous land space. We will look
at the early attempts at governance, the creation of the
Constitution and the challenges to the new government
that were firmly rooted in the Revolution through the
critical election of 1800. Attendance in the earlier courses

Session one: Rebecca Gratz (1781-1869) is considered to
have been the most influential Jewish woman of her time,
establishing a number of philanthropic organizations in
Philadelphia, including the first Hebrew Sunday School
of America (acting as its superintendent well into her
eighties), and the first Jewish orphanage in the United
States
Session three: In her forties Kate Gortler Walker (18481931) emigrated from Bavaria. A widow with a sevenyear-old son, speaking virtually no English, she became
a cook for the staff of the Sandy Hook, New Jersey
lighthouse, where she met and married John Walker, the
assistant keeper. When her husband was promoted to head
keeper of the Robbins Reef Lighthouse, a water-bound
light between Staten Island and Manhattan, she was made
assistant keeper. After her husband’s death, Mrs. Walker
was given the job of head keeper, a post she held for over
thirty years. In all that time, the light never went out.

The Two Row Wampum Renewal 134
Campaign: How Two Central New York
Seniors Participated in a Historic Event
Buffy Curtis and Liselei Haines, “allies” of the
Haudenosaunee; Moderated by Renee-Noelle Felice,
living-historian, writer, storyteller, educator and
“herstory” buff
Buffy Curtis and Liselei Haines, of Clinton, NY, will
share their experiences in last summer’s “Two Row
Wampum Renewal Campaign,” during which two rows
of canoes and kayaks, one consisting of members of the
Haudenosaunee (formerly known as the Iroquois) and one
consisting of “allies,” paddled from Albany to New York
City to commemorate the first treaty between Europeans
(in this case, the Dutch) and the Six-Nation Confederacy
of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca and
Tuscarora.
All the participants committed themselves to the goals
of the campaign, including the following: “Since the
beginning of the relations between our two peoples,
the goal of the Two Row Wampum Treaty has been the
alternative to removal, assimilation, patronizing relations
and the policies of attempted genocide. We hereby
promise to renew the Two Row, to polish the silver chain
of friendship between our peoples beginning today and
for many generations to come.”
This campaign began and was nurtured here in Syracuse,
but attracted participants from all over the United States
and The Netherlands. Buffy and Liselei boast that in their
own kayak with just the two of them paddling, they had
123 years of experience! They invite you to meet with
them and to hear the story of the remarkable event that
began in “our own backyard.”

Ste. Marie Mission “Faith Journey” Story
135
Lt. Jon Anderson, Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office
Historian and author of Since 1794: The History of the
Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office
This presentation focuses on the “Faith Journey”
perspective of the French Jesuit Missionaries (Black
Robes) who ventured to the land of the Haudenosaunee
(Iroquois) in 1656 to establish a mission embassy on the
shore of Lake Gannentaha (Onondaga Lake). The story
focuses on the missionary experience of the Jesuits: their
strategies, challenges, and successes as ambassadors
and evangelists to the native people. The story is based
upon “Relations,” the first hand-written accounts of the
Jesuit missionaries associated with the 17th Century Ste.
Marie Mission site. Note: Class is exempt from the $20

Speculations on the Evolution of 137
Religion within Human Culture Writ Large
Richard Pilgrim, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Department
of Religion, Syracuse University
Inspired in part by a relatively recent book The
Disenchantment of the World by French author Marcel
Gauchet on the evolution of religion (or the religious) in
human culture and history, this course will probe not only
the nature of the religious as an integral part of individual
and cultural life, but how it may have been changing in
significant ways as a universal human phenomenon. What
ARE the religions of the axial age (ca. 500 BCE-500
CE), and what ARE some of the turnings that have been
and are happening on that axis? Where has religion been
through the ages, and where might it be going into the
future? Will there be religion after the “religions?” Will
there be gods after the “death of God?”

The Origins of Judaism and Christianity138
Susan Wright, MA, Theology, Bexley Hall Episcopal
Seminary, Lecturer, Writer, Blogger on religion, scripture
interpretation and religious history
Until recently religious scholars tended to reduce the
historical relationship between Judaism and Christianity
to a sort of parent-child relationship, portraying Judaism
as the stern and demanding parent and Christianity as
the rebellious child which claimed its independence.
The relationship was often framed by Christian scholars
within a secessionist model, which for centuries fostered
a negative portrait of Judaism as overly preoccupied with
protecting itself from outside influences and in particular
new innovations on part of the early Christians. The
secessionist model reduced Judaism’s historical role to
a mere preparation for the emergence of Christianity.
Recent scholarship, however has revealed the relationship
between Judaism and Christianity to be far more
complex, especially when it comes to the parting of
the ways of the two religions. Engaging with Jewish
and Christian scholars, we’ll look in depth at how and
when the two religions took their different pathways and
hopefully in the process we’ll cast off the negative and
reductionist assumptions inherited from the past.
This course will utilize slides and other visual media to
illustrate this tradition’s rich history and motifs.

The Bible in History: How the Texts Have Shaped the Times
139
David E. Pasinski, M.Div., MA, Theology, St.
Bonaventure, MA, Marriage and Family Therapy,
Syracuse University, MA, Public Administration,
Syracuse University
What shapes history? Most agree that an understanding of
philosophies and ideologies of an age are critical in such
an evaluation. David Kling’s book by the above title is a
fascinating look at eight Biblical texts that have helped
shape not only religious, but also key aspects of world
history. In a thorough examination of these passages and
the persons affected by them, Kling reviews in great
detail everything from the emergence of the Christian
church and tolerance through the monastic era to the
clashes of the Reformation. He addresses the notions of
revolution, slavery and its opposition, women’s rights
and others with acute detail and considers the celebrated
individuals that were influenced by Biblical ideals.
This course examines these texts and arguments in
their theological and historical contexts and encourages
discussion that may be applicable to our era.
While having one’s own book is helpful, PowerPoint
summaries are used for two texts examined in each
class. Discussion is encouraged. The book is available in
paperback through various sources.

The growing interest in the writings of Carl Jung may be

Meditation for Beginners
143
Virginia R. Waldron, MS, Transpersonal Psychology,
Certified Hypnotist, Certified Instructor in Hypnosis
The goal of meditation’s first stage is to reduce mental
distractions and create the opportunity for our minds to
become clear and calm. This can be accomplished by
practicing a simple breathing meditation. Patient practice
will gradually allow us to let go of the stress and focus of
daily routine and move our concentration to inner peace
and calm. Learn how to breathe and relax. This level of
quiet breathing is a preliminary stage of meditation, but
a powerful one. Much stress and tension we experience
comes from the mind, and many problems we have,
including ill health, are caused or aggravated by this
stress. By practicing slow breathing meditation for a
16
few minutes each day, we are able to reduce stress and
improve quality of life and health. No special tools are
needed—just a few moments of time and the intention to
find a better way to live.

being while also allowing a broad systemic perspective.
Each class will include presentation, discussion and

The History of Clean Water in the United States
503
Stuart J. Spiegel, MS, former Vice-President and Senior
Managing Scientist, O’Brien & Gere
The history of achieving clean water in the U.S. has
been a very bumpy ride that started in the late 1800s. We
will look back at the approach to clean water, and the
incremental steps to achieve it. Topics will focus on how
logs in waterways and river fires in Cleveland led to the
Clean Water Act. The legislation will be deconstructed
to reveal what it includes and what it does not. We will
discuss stormwater and the community, watershed
protection, the relationship to the Safe Drinking Water
Act, how bottled water is regulated and whether our
water is cleaner now than in the past. Lastly, we will
become acquainted with new challenges in water quality:
endocrine disruptors, nanoparticles, plastic beads,
pharmaceuticals in water and the impact of climate
change on clean water programs.

Climate and Global Warming
504
Len Sharp, MS, CAS, retired Earth Science teacher,
Liverpool High School; adjunct professor of Education at
LeMoyne College; National Science Teachers Association
Distinguished Teacher Awardee and Presidential
Awardee in Science Teaching
Under the tutelage of former Vice President and Nobel
Laureate, Al Gore, instructor Len Sharp has completed
two rigorous climate change training programs to spread
the message about the threat of and solutions to global
climate change.
Do the severe tornado outbreaks of the past spring have
anything to do with climate change? Are the droughts
devastating China and Eastern Africa associated with
worldwide climate pattern changes? Did you know
that 2014 was one of the warmest years on record for
Earth? Is there evidence that sea levels are rising? Is the
sea becoming more acidic? What are the connections
between these events and global climate change? And–
the big question–is global climate change caused by
anthropogenic factors (humankind) or is it a function of
natural cycles?
We will consider
• What is global climate change?
• What are the causes of global climate change?
• What evidence is there of human impact on climate?
• What can we do individually and collectively to reverse
and/or stabilize the warming trend?
• How can we become more energy efficient at home and
work?

Tale of Three Cities Buried by 505
Catastrophic Volcanic Eruptions: Akrotiri on
the island of Santorini, Greece; Pompeii,
Italy; and St. Pierre, Martinique
Distinguished Teacher Awardee and Presidential
Awardee in Science Teaching, and world traveler
Explore three cities, forever frozen in historical time,
which have given us a snapshot into the daily lives of
their citizens—people who in a moment of cataclysmic
eruption were essentially blasted from the face of the
Earth. Is Akrotiri (Thera, 1625 BC) the source of Plato’s
Atlantis? Why are there no bodies or great treasures
found in Akrotiri’s ruins? What happened to the ancient
Minoan? What was the seaport of Pompeii (Vesuvius,
79 AD) like before disaster struck? Why were there so
many lives lost at Pompeii? Mt. Pelee (1902) gave the
Martinique populous plenty of time to escape, but still
31,000+ persons perished. Why?

Science Fiction Movies: a Historical Perspective, 1905 - Present
507
Liverpool High School; adjunct professor of Education,
Distinguished Teacher Awardee and recipient of the
NSTA Film Award in 1996
Instructor Len Sharp fondly remembers growing
up during the 1950s Golden Age of Science and
being mesmerized by creatures becoming giants or
miniaturized by atomic radiation. It seemed as if the
universe was primarily inhabited by aliens bent on taking
Earth as a colony to enslave its people or rob Earth of its
natural resources! The film When Worlds Collide was an
early effort by Hollywood to explore what humans would
do in the event of a cosmic collision. Forty years later the
theme was revisited in Armageddon and Deep Impact.
Len has been collecting Science Fiction films for twenty
years, and has acquired nearly 700 movies and television
programs. From the first Sci-fi movie produced by
Melies in 1902, Trip to the Moon, to present films such
as Armageddon, Contact, The Day After Tomorrow
and Jurassic Park, the question has always been how
accurately science has been portrayed. Armageddon was
actually used by NASA to train its management staff
because of an identified 166 misconceptions depicted
in the film. However, some films have been precursors
to future scientific developments. A few examples
are Destination Moon (space travel, 1950), Fantasia
(dinosaur theory, 1940), Star Trek [original TV series],
(communication, space travel, 1966-68), and Gattaca
(genetics, 1997). Join the instructor on a journey through
science fiction in film and explore how science has been
portrayed over the past 109 years of movie magic!

Special Programs & Services
Art Walls at OASIS
Reach Out and Read
Art Walls is a continuous art exhibit program that
displays the works of OASIS artists on the walls
of the OASIS hallways and classrooms and is coordinated by Evelyn Fiorenza, OASIS Art Instructor, and
Peter Huntington, OASIS member and artist.
Note: Artwork to be displayed in the fall trimester
should be dropped off at OASIS between December
15 and January 13.
This is a program that promotes early literacy by bringing new and gently used books into pediatric exam and
waiting rooms and encouraging parents to read aloud
to their children. Volunteers read aloud to children,
serving as an example to parents of the effectiveness
of reading in entertaining children and in helping them
learn. Since 1989, Reach Out and Read pediatricians
have been prescribing books for their young patients
at more than 2,000 hospitals and health centers. Reach
Out and Read has been offered at University Hospital’s
Pediatric and Adolescent Center since 1990. Please
consider volunteering your time to read aloud to children in the waiting room at University Hospital, our
OASIS sponsor. Training and volunteer support are offered to assure a positive experience for all. Interested?
