In celebration of National Work and Family Month this October, employers will promote the various ways in which they support the work-life needs of their employee’s as they juggle their competing demands and responsibilities between their personal lives and career goals. MSU offers a wide variety of services and support to ensure job satisfaction, increase recruitment, productivity and engagement. The Family Resource Center is proud to announce this collaborative community event that will be held October 24, 2012. It is free and open to the public.

The third annual Optimal Aging event is a collaboration between Michigan State University’s Family Resource Center, the Geriatric Education Center of Michigan, the College of Human Medicine and the Senior Alliance for Education. The free event is offered in honor of their local elders, their family members and the professionals that provide them with care. The event will be held October 24, 2012, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Eagle Eye Golf Club. It will include sessions on “Building Five-Star Neighborhoods,” “It’s Your Community—Know All Your Options,” and “Optimal Aging Through the Arts.” The audience includes MSU employees, researchers, professionals, family caregivers and elders.
