Aging may bring some challenges but can also bring many gratifications. In this course, we will review the physical and cognitive changes that develop as we grow older. We will examine ageism and its effects, and also explore retirement, grandparenting, resilience, wisdom, and other matters. In addition, we will consider the importance of reimagining our purpose in life in our later years. Each session will include a presentation and class discussion.
