Life is Definitely NOT Over at 65!

Engaging the “Third and Fourth Age” - Older Adults in Higher Education

Dr. Wright L. Lassiter

Chancellor, Dallas County
Community College District
The skyrocketing growth of the older adult
population in the United States is forcing
society to rethink this cohort’s role in the
nation’s future. In this talk the Chancellor
will remind the attendees of the four ages
of our lives – Preparation, Achievement,
Fulfillment and Completion – with a focus
on the ages of Fulfillment and Completion
– the two ages relating to the Richland
College Emeritus Program.
The Third Age begins as advancement becomes less important; this is the
age of fulfillment. “The best is yet to be!” Completion is the last stage of
life and represents the Fourth Age.

Dr. Lassiter will provide insight about the population of adult Americans
aged 65 and older and how higher education can effectively serve them.

Includes coffee, muffins, your new Spring 2010 booklet,

and an overview of our Emeritus fall classes.
