Join classmates to discuss how we’re living in retirement, where we’re residing, and how best to maintain social and physical health. We’ll provide a platform for each of us to reintroduce ourselves, share aspects of life 60 years after graduation, and set the stage for a weekend of camaraderie. We’ve set aside ample time for conversation. Classmates may opt to leave after 3:30 for other activities.
The “Third Stage” of life—that period of time after early retirement—is often characterized as a time to simply slow down. In reality, it can be full of profound opportunities for intentional reinvention. Join us for an engaging conversation, facilitated by Professor Lida Winfield, that dives into the architecture of a fulfilling life that trades “keeping busy” for living with purpose.
