Lifelong  Annual  Meeting  and  LuncheonWith guest speaker Saleh Kalantari

Navigating the Future of Aging: The Promise of Virtual Reality for Cognitive and Social Engagement

Library Place Community Room, 105 West Court Street, Ithaca

Learn about the great work Lifelong has been doing this past year, celebrate our Barbara Hulbert Volunteer Award winner, and take your chance on raffle baskets and a wine pull! Lifelong membership not required to attend.

Guest speaker Saleh Kalantari, PhD, EDAC, is an assistant professor in Cornell University’s Department of Design and Environmental Analysis. We are learning that Virtual Reality, or “VR” is not just for kids or gamers! VR participants wear headsets that gave them 360-degree views and sounds, making it seem like they had been all but dropped into the actual experience. VR keeps the brain and body active and can change the way we learn about new things.   Dr. Kalantari’s research promotes enhancing the relationship between people and their created environment, which has shown positive results on cognition and social engagement in older adults. Join us to learn about this fascinating work!

Ticket cost is $25.00 per person, payable in advance at Lifelong, by phone (with credit card), online here, or at the door with prior reservation. Includes catered lunch and gratuity. Parking is available at Lifelong, off-street parking, and at the Seneca St. lot.
