Health & Wellness

"Retirement:  Exploring Exciting Opportunities, Surprises and Concerns Beyond Finances”. 
Workshop presented by OSURA (Oregon State University Retirement Association).
Date/Time:  May 2, 2013, 1:30-3pm.  Location:  MU 211.

Retirement is a major life transition that has great opportunities, major concerns and the potential for significant surprises.  Such a transition requires planning for other than just financial matters. A panel of retirees led by Drs. Peter Bloome and Karen Hooker will explore these areas and illustrate some aspects of the physical, psychological and social dimensions of retirement.  The program is likely of most value to those within one to three years of retirement and those who are recently retired.
