This conference was a great concept with excellent keynote speakers and relevant breakout sessions on topics concerning aging Baby Boomers. It was definitely worth attending and provided me with stimulating ideas to think over and a better orientation to the topic. Thank you! Re:Generation at 50+ Conference Participant

Now that my youngest is going to college, I am looking to reinvent myself. I took this course to clarify the transition process I am going through and to learn new options. I would recommend this course to others seeking to create a meaningful second half of life. Workshop Participant - Boomers at the Crossroads
The course was very informative and was taught at a level that was challenging. I especially liked the way Dr. Martin moderated the discussion as she encouraged student interaction. I enjoyed coming to this course. Workshop Participant - Boomers at the Crossroads
The Boomer's Midlife Guide to the New Retirement was excellent. It was interesting and made me think about life options in the second half of life beyond issues of health and finance. Workshop Participant - Boomer's Guide to the New Retirement
I found this workshop to be extremely meaningful and timely. I'm walking away with great information and also some tasks to work through on my own. I look at retirement as an ongoing growth process and what I learned here will help me as I proceed. Workshop Participant - Boomer's Guide to the New Retirement

Dr. Martin's presentation, "What do Boomers Want? Programming Tips for the Retirement Revolution," was perfect: she gave an excellent intro to the Boomer Generation, and provided the context for an interactive discussion to help attendees discover programs that best fit our individual institution's missions and goals. Herknowledge of and devotion to adult learners and aging populations is outstanding. Brian Bercier, Assistant Dean of Continuing Education, Assumption College
Charlene's "What Do Boomers Want? Programming Tips for the Retirement Revolution" workshop is chock full of valuable information and insights. I came away from the workshop energized and inspired--both professionally and personally. The small group exercises enabled participants--all continuing education professionals--to focus on emerging programming needs in the areas of work, leisure, and lifestyle. Many of the participants cited Charlene's workshop as a highlight of the conference. Her expertise in this area is without peer--this is definitely not your run-of-the-mill presentation!
