If you were unable to attend the lecture on October 9, 2024, or would like to revisit it, see the Eloquence & Eminence website: https://aging.wisc.edu/eloquence-and-eminence-lectures.

I hope you are as excited as I am about our move to the digital age.  It is our vision for this website to become your ‘go-to” place for UWRA information and the latest details about its activities and programs. 

The automation of the application and renewal process, the ability to pay online and the ability to access information from your mobile device are among the software’s features.  Our design goal was to keep it simple, easy to use while striking a balance between emerging technologies and maintaining existing methods.   I encourage you to become familiar with the site and its features.  Visit it often. 

As with the onset of spring, it is time to look forward to a new UWRA.   Join me and embrace the changes!
