[Isl] Suggesting ACC Dean Rosemary Blieszner for ISL Fall Series

[Elizabeth Goldsmith]

Dear Bahram, Neil, and all, By this letter, I am suggesting ACC professor Dr. Rosemary Blieszner, Dean and Alumni Distinguished Professor of the College of Liberal Arts & Human Sciences at Virginia Tech U., for the ISL Fall Series. She is an expert in spirituality research (on aging), friendship research, and currently studying caregivers for people with memory loss. I asked her Friday if I could recommend her and she said yes.


As some of you know, I am teaching two classes a semester at VT. It has been an outstanding experience -- students, faculty, and administration. Being a guest at the White House launched the year in a spectacular way.


Let me know if you need further information about Dean Blieszner.  Wishing you much continued success.


Liz

Hello,



This is a reminder to send your suggestions for speakers in by 5PM February 19! Our Lecture Series, as always is centered around the concept of Successful Longevity-not just how to live longer, but how to live better as we age. We are looking for individuals at ACC Universities, other than FSU, who you think would provide interesting and relevant material concerning Successful Longevity. In the past, some of our speakers have tackled topics concerning Aging Self-Stereotypes, Caregiving, Brain Training Programs, Exercise as Regenerative Medicine, Designing Technology for Older Adults, and compensation Processes of the Aging Brain. The lecture series is not limited to these topics, but must be within the scope of Successful Longevity.



Did this jog your memory? Do you think you may know someone who’d be interested, or a perfect person for this event? Please reply to this email with your suggested speaker and a link to their lab/university page. Do NOT “Reply All” to this email! Please only include people from ACC schools. Please do not suggest our past/recent speakers of ISL supported events (Levy, Schultz, Simons, McLaughlin, Bamman, Cabeza, or Waite) or those from FSU. Past suggestions are welcome as long as the speaker was not previously booked. Please submit your suggestions by 5PM February 19. We will gather more suggestions at the Affiliates meeting on February 20 and send out a poll by that Thursday so you all can vote!



Below is a list of ACC schools for your reference:
