The habits that are necessary increase chances of healthy longevity include physical exercise, nutrition, mental exercise, social engagement and psychological well-being. Students will examine these factors through readings and by engaging with community older adults, including members of Wofford\u2019s Lifelong Learning. The course examines basic content of a psychology-based \u201cadult development and aging\u201d course, including theories\/findings regarding physical, cognitive, social, emotional development, from the \u201csuccessful aging\u201d perspective. The course considers societal impact of ageism, longevity, living environments and other age-related issues. Students will interview an older adult on a successful aging topic, develop a personal successful aging plan, and create a TED-like talk that will be presented to the community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a <strong>graded interim course<\/strong> (A-F) with workload equivalent to one semester long course. This course counts as a psychology elective for psychology majors. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When\/Where<\/strong>: MTWRF 9-11:20; combination of RMSC and Lifelong Learning at Central Methodist; opportunities to interact with older adults at other day\/times will also be available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>How to learn more<\/strong>: email Dr. Bopp at boppkl@wofford.edu <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong>Students that register for the course are required to attend the mandatory meeting on Tue Dec 5th at 11am<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Service Learning course component:<\/strong><br>An &#8220;intergenerational&#8221; course will be offered at Lifelong Learning.
