The significance of NATO in its 75th year
Attend Aging Research Day
Summer yoga classes from the Mindful University Project
NATO at 75—powerful and necessary, or costly and obsolete?
“NATO is not just the strongest military alliance in world history, it’s also an effective international organization that materially increases its members’ joint military capabilities and political influence,” says Randall Stone, a political science professor and the director of the Skalny Center for Polish and Central European Studies. Learn more in a Q&A with Stone.
Sponsored by the University Committee on Interdisciplinary Studies and the University’s Aging Institute, Aging Research Day will be held today, May 10, from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in Goergen Hall, Room 101. The event features a variety of talks on aging research from Medical Center and River Campus faculty. The day will culminate with a keynote delivered by Luigi Ferrucci, a geriatrician and epidemiologist at the National Institute of Aging.

Health equity art going on display
