Performances for Separation of Church and State will be at 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5 through Saturday, Nov. 7, with a 2 p.m. matinee performance Sunday, Nov. 8. Tickets are $5 for general public and $3 for UNCW students. Tickets will be sold at the door beginning one hour prior to each performance.

School of Nursing presents "Aging to Perfection" Seminar Nov. 11 11/3/2009 11:37:29 AM The School of Nursing presents "Aging to Perfection," a lecture event on healthy aging, at 6 p.m., Nov. 11 in the Burney Center. The event will provide information for seniors on staying healthy, active and involved in order to be "perfectly aged." Keynote speaker Dr. Mary K. Rudyk, a local geriatrician, will discuss normal vs. abnormal signs of aging, the recommended screenings for adults 65 and older, why a primary care provider is important, and what symptoms warrant attention. Other presenters include Ellie Covan, professor of gerontology; nursing faculty members Melissa Aselage and Kathleen Ennen. These speakers will focus on the importance of advanced care planning and how it relates to the current healthcare debate, as well as the need for spiritual growth and social networks as one ages. In 2000, 12 percent of the U.S. population was 65 or older. By 2050, that population will grow to 30 percent. With this growing figure in mind, knowing how to age healthily is even more important. The event is co-sponsored by UNCW's School of Nursing, the Department of Health and Applied Human Sciences, and the Upperman African American Cultural Center in partnership with Pacifica Assisted Living. UNCW is committed to university-community partnerships that improve health outcomes in the Southeast region. The event is free and open to the public and faculty, staff and students are encouraged to attend. However, seating is limited. To reserve a seat, contact Linda Ferrell at x23200 or ferrell@uncw.edu by Nov. 4.
