This week, we did a debrief on the LBGTQ Community Center LEG. It was great to hear how it went, considering that several members of the cohort were unable to attend due to class conflicts. It sounds as if that LEG went much different than the others did because with the other LEGs that I was able to attend, there were several cohort members teamed up with one or two seniors. However, it sounds as if this one was reversed and it was one cohort member assigned to several seniors. We also did a debrief on one of the HAPs that has already taken place, and that was the gardening HAP at Potiker and I believe again at the West Center. It sounds as if their event was wildly successful and they were able to get several seniors to take part in potting succulents. The professors had mentioned that they will even try to implement this potting event into the Life Course Scholar program next year for the entire cohort to take part in. We continued with the entire cohort briefly sharing their debunking ageism communication assignments. I was impressed with the cohort’s work as there were several very unique ideas that people had in completing this assignment. Some students teamed up to create an Instagram account from the perspective of an active and fun senior. There was also a twitter account made to show that seniors can continue living exciting lives into their older years. There were a few blogs and even a bingo game! Some of these projects might be displayed at the Aging Symposium. My groups’s HAP is coming up on June 1st! Everything is coming together for this walkathon and we are very excited for the turnout that we will have.
