They offer a variety of courses to help train people in applying the science of happiness and flourishing to a variety of professions. For my final project I chose to focus on a subsect of the field of positive psychology: successful aging. Rooting my project in research by gerontologist Karl Pillemer, I surveyed adults in my life and used the data to put together an &#8220;advice archive&#8221; full of advice regarding living and aging successfully. Throughout the experience, I learned a lot about the science of positive psychology that I know I will carry with me long past my time at Vanderbilt.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/immersion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Plan Your Immersion Experience<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Immersion Is&#8230;a deep dive into a question, topic, or theme, through classroom learning and in-person experience.
