OAGE SUMMER UPDATES

What: The Ohio Association of Gerontology and Education (OAGE) is putting together two sessions this summer intended to help update instructors about the latest research in the field of gerontology. The program will be a one day update on four topics related to aging education:

•   Biology of Aging/Physical Changes

•   Population/Demography

•   Psychology/Mental Health

•   Social Gerontology

These will be one and a half hour sessions with a lunch break.

Where and When: The program will be offered twice: Friday June 15 at the University of Akron and Friday June 22 at Sinclair Community College in Dayton.

Who should attend: The target audience is full and part-time instructors who are teaching at state universities and colleges and at private liberal arts colleges on topics related to aging. Participants will receive sample lesson plans and other materials to enhance their teaching. Sessions will be limited to 25 participants so that we can provide opportunities for them to continue to interact and share ideas through OAGE.

Cost: The cost will be $125 for the all-day session, lunch, and materials. Registration will open on April 6. For further information, please contact Meg Teaford at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
