Join us this fall for a special Halloween-themed Mini Grandparents University®!
Step right up … if you dare! In this fun\, interactive class\, students trade their textbooks for hazmat suits to step into the shoes of frontline epidemiologists and CDC investigators. Comparing historical and modern diseases\, this class connects generations through shared experiences\, stomps out common infection myths and introduces core principles of epidemiology. The ultimate test? Applying those skills to track down the source of a terrifying\, rapidly spreading zombie outbreak at a small-town carnival.
Registration will be open until Friday\, Oct. 2\, 2026—or until we’ve reached capacity. Spots are limited\, so don’t wait!
Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa-sponsored events. If you are a person with a disability who requires reasonable accommodation to participate in this program\, please email GrandparentsUniversity@foriowa.org or call 319-467-3668.
