Aging is often thought of as a negative process, however there are important benefits that are largely uncelebrated. We will explore the privilege of aging and ways to do it well through a series of presentations by Drexel Students. Through the workshops, we will understand:

• the basic underlying structure and function of selected organ systems
• the basics of the normal changes associated with the process of aging in these organ systems
• that aging is a privilege and that we should be respect the privilege we have been given by being careful to protect ourselves through the process
• the basics of the ways we can protect our privilege
