This spring, students in Dr. Joshua Koen’s “Cognitive Aging” course at Notre Dame completed a final project to discuss an issue in cognitive aging research, with the goal of publishing these short essays as online blog posts and distributing printed copies to members of the Forever Learning Institute. Topics spanned a broad range, including: the benefits of yoga, types of memory aids for use in aging populations, cultural differences in views of ’successful aging’, how bereavement affects cognition, and much more. These short essays can be found online at https://koenlab.org/category/cogaging-student-blogs/ and physical copies are available for pick-up at the Forever Learning Institute. Notre Dame students welcome feedback from FLI members on the short essays, and said feedback can be submitted to koenlab@nd.edu with the subject line “Student Essay Feedback” for distribution to the individual authors. Consider providing feedback if you found a topic particular interesting, if there was anything you found confusing, or if you have constructive advice on how they can grow as writers for a public audience.
