The Alzheimer’s Association states that more than six million Americans ages 65 or older have dementia. While Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, it is not the only kind. In this presentation, we will discuss other forms of dementia, such as vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia; and how they differ from Alzheimer’s in progression, treatment, and diagnosis. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to the video for 30 days.

Lois Weber, Mother of American Cinema Saturday, 10am–12pm, February 4 Lois Weber was one of America’s first auteurs and the most powerful woman in mid1910s Hollywood. As the highest paid director and Universal Film Manufacturing Company’s premiere director, Weber was the first woman to direct a feature-length film in the United States, and the first American woman to own her own studio. In this course, we examine Weber’s place in American cinema and her impact on the Hollywood film industry. We also look at her life as an evangelist and then a stage actress, how she brought respectability to early American cinema, and produced commercially successful, socially conscious films filled with technical sophistication.
