Explore life above the Arctic Circle and close to home
Wed, Mar 6, 2024, 10am
Explore life above the Arctic Circle and closer to home when UMRA’s Armchair Traveler program meets via Zoom from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, March 6.
Janet and Craig Swan will discuss and show pictures of their travels to and above the Arctic Circle: the land of the Midnight Sun, glaciers and mountains of amazing beauty, arctic birds and mammals that are at the heart of this challenging environment.
"Traveling close to home" is how Carol Urness describes her presentation (rescheduled from January 24). “At some point most of us have to give up travel to distant lands. In this presentation, we will consider ways to ‘travel’ to interesting areas near home, even our own backyards.”
Please mark your calendars. A Zoom invitation will be emailed to UMRA members a week before the program.

How much do the experiences of our earliest years shape who we become — and even our physical health — decades later? For more than 50 years, University of Minnesota researchers have been exploring that question through the Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Risk and Adaptation. In this UMRA Living Well Workshop, Professor Jeffry Simpson, PhD, will draw on findings from the study to explore the connections between our earliest relationships and our health later in life.
