Course Highlights

Theodore Roosevelt's America - Mick Chantler

July 6 – July 27 (4 weeks) | 10 – 11:40 a.m. | In-person, Guzman Lecture Hall
Teddy Roosevelt was one of perhaps five or six truly transformative presidents in American history. A cultivated, scholarly aristocrat, Roosevelt entered politics during the nation’s “gilded age,” much to the dismay of his peers who regarded government as a tawdry affair dominated by saloon-keepers and greedy commercial types. In the course of his thirty years in public service, he resolved to restore the “heroic, manly virtues” and a sense of sublime destiny to American life. This course will examine the career of this remarkable—if often abrasive and authoritarian—American statesman.

*Recorded courses are available only to OLLI members enrolled in the specific course.

OLLI at Dominican truly saved my sanity during the pandemic.  I took nearly every class that was offered and fell in love with new topics along with my favorites.  The instructors are excellent, and the classes brought helpful structure and JOY to my days.
