This campus-wide student competition challenged students to creatively express the 'beauty of aging'. Twenty-five entries, ranging from written works to visual works, were submitted. A team of students from the Interdisciplinary Certificate in Aging [CIA] judged the entries. The Institute on Aging thanks all those who participated and extends congratulations to the winners. Copies of all the entries will soon be available to view on the CIA web site.

Winners will receive cash prizes at an awards ceremony on April 15 and appear on the locally-produced television show, "In Praise of Age".
