life Course Scholars 2016
The inaugural UCSD Life Course Scholars represent diverse majors and minors (Anthropology, Biology, Chemistry, Global Health, Literature, Public Health, Urban Studies & Planning), backgrounds, and aspirations. Scholars will be exposed to the creative contributions of multiple disciplines outside of their majors, have opportunities for experiential, place-based learning off campus, in collaboration with community partners, and develop deeper connections with elders through shared learning, research and problem-solving endeavors. Our hope is that these combined activities will give students hands-on skills, and a more holistic perspective on learning, living, aging, health and wellness.
