Film screening: The Dream is Now – May 22, 6:30 p.m.

The Dream is Now is a documentary that follows four undocumented youth in America and focuses on the personal stories of dreamers and their families. It calls for common sense reform that gives all undocumented immigrants the chance to earn their citizenship and contribute fully to society.

Care for the Ages: What Your Parents Might Not Be Telling You – May 23, noon-1 p.m.

Dr. Scott Adams is a Denver psychologist who has spent a number of years working with senior citizens. Over that time he has come to recognize that there are certain issues and topics that these folks don't necessarily share with their children. We'll have an opportunity to have a conversation with Scott and learn how we might be more supportive and understanding of the challenges they face. "Care for the Ages" is an ongoing program from Religious & Spiritual Life and the Graduate School of Social Work aimed at those of us who may be "sandwiched" between aging parents and children of our own, or who are simply watching our (grand) parents get older. Join the discussion in the Commerce Room in Driscoll Center north.
