Growing old does not mean having to be an outcast in society. That’s the message from one of Canada’s most prominent gerontology scholars speaking at the Twelfth Annual Distinguished Lecture at the University of Regina, Jan. 21. Dr. Neena Chappell is a professor of sociology at the University of Victoria and Canada Research Chair in Social Gerontology. Dr. Chappell will discuss the benefits of social integration as well will offer ideas on how older adults can become more socially engaged.
