Professor Ellen McCreedy is a musician and gerontologist whose research harnesses the power of music to recall memories. Driven to give dementia sufferers, and their caregivers, a moment of having themselves back again, McCreedy joined Humans in Public Health to discuss her work, its challenges and the grandmother who first showed her music’s power to break through Alzheimer’s disease.

The Center for Long Term Care Quality & Innovation will be fully embedded within the Center for Gerontology and Healthcare Research.

J. Michael Kosterlitz, a professor of physics, and Terrie Fox Wetle, a professor emerita of health services, policy and practice, will receive the Rosenberger Medal of Honor during Commencement and Reunion Weekend.
