Her talk, "Combating Aging in the Military: An Orthopedic Surgery Approach Through Exercise," begins at 4 p.m. in the River Rooms of Webb University Center. It is free and open to the public and refreshments will be served.

Sponsored by the Department of Exercise Science, Sport, Physical Education and Recreation, the lectureship is presented to emphasize the importance of wellness throughout the aging process and making changes in personal behavior with regard to diet and exercise.
