On the day Storm Bram blew around the campus, people involved in the first UL Age Friendly University Teaching Programme were invited to an informal ‘wrap up’ coffee morning held on Tuesday, December 9 in Plassey house. Undaunted by the elements, there was a great turn out where Professor Joachim Fisher (AFU Committee Co-Chair) welcomed everyone and spoke about the success of the pilot programme to date and plans for continuing it on into the future. Dr. Michaela Schrage-Früh who led on the roll out of the programme in this autumn semester, thanked everyone for pulling together and making the programme such a positive experience – the students, the lecturers, the staff from the library and ITD services, staff from graduate and professional services (GPS) and others who gave of their time, energy and expertise to make it happen. The programme will be formally launched in the new year but for now, it was an opportunity for a catch up at the end of what was a busy but rewarding initiative. Applications for the spring semester modules are now open with a 6th January closing date and we look forward to welcoming the next tranche of older students into our community”.
