Campus Life Going Back to School


in the Golden Years


Retirement communities, typically nestled near beaches or golf courses, are beginning to emerge somewhere else: near university campuses. Educational opportunities and cultural activities there are among the perks for those who feel most alive in ac-


tive, intellectually stimulating and intergenerational settings. Alma maters are a special draw for sports fans. About 50 campus-oriented retirement communities ex- ist around the country, estimates Andrew Carle, an industry expert and founding director of the Senior Housing Admin- istration program at George Mason University, in Fairfax, Virginia. Another 50 are planned.


Rocking Change Social Tools Revolutionize


Young Lives


Older teens interested in com- munity service or social change have long been able to tap into tailor-made resources, including DoSomething.org, the nation’s largest database of teen volunteer opportunities; it sparked more than a million teens to action in 2010. But, how about tweens,


who often find it difficult to make themselves heard? The Do Something! Handbook for Young Activists now empowers younger kids, too, with the tools and know-how to change their world.


Happiness Index Most American Adults Say Life is Good


A new Rasmussen Reports survey finds that 61 percent of adults rate their lives today as good or excellent. Among the most satisfied are married adults, those with no children at home and people with the highest incomes. Of the 1,000 men and women surveyed, 58 percent consider the years from 18 to 49 as the very best, 17 percent ultimately prefer age 50 and up and 14 percent maintain that childhood takes the cake. The rest are unde- cided.
