A Message to the Campus Community

May 1, 2024 - 1:47 p.m.

Dear Students and Colleagues,

As we all come to terms with the recent events on campus, it is important to recognize the emotional impact they have taken on us, individually and collectively. We want to acknowledge that this has been an extremely challenging week for Cal Poly Humboldt. We are hurting within our campus community and beyond, and we have much work in front of us to reset, rebuild, and heal. This will take time. We will do this together.

Memory Games: Stay Sharp!

24080: Registration closed

With Margaret Kellermann, Artist

Having senior moments? Everyone has them. Enjoy stress-free, easygoing memory games and activities in one group Zoom session. Share your responses, or keep them private. Thinking outside the box is celebrated! Boost your confidence, and create new neural pathways to keep your mind active and creative.

Empathy, humor, and mutual interests go a long way in keeping oneself and others sharp in later years. A few years ago, the instructor took care of a friend who developed dementia. The instructor learned how to interact with her friend in a new way: being positive, clear and understanding, without always understanding the friend's new language and behaviors. Together they played lots of memory games and activities. As the instructor had previously had memory issues after a car accident, she wanted to stay as sharp as possible, too. Playing these games with her friend helped them both enormously.

This class is focused on fun, and is for everyone who loses the car keys, and finds them in the wood bin under all the wood -- as the instructor did a few years ago. 

Register by March 4.
