Evelyn Irvin doesn’t seem to mind the mostly vast differences of age groups surrounding her at NIC. “They’re all nice,” she said, laughing softly. “And I like to be around younger people. It makes you kind of younger.” Irvin is 91 years young, yet still the oldest student on campus. “People think it’s so different when they hear someone my age is attending NIC but I go on like I always have,” said Irvin. “It’s no big deal.” Evelyn took a Yoga class at NIC for the fall semester. “I liked it because it’s so relaxing and restful.” She plans on taking another yoga class this summer. “I played basketball in high school, but I’ve never really been into sports,” Irvin said. “I took yoga because you need as much stretching as you can get”/Lana Burnette, NIC Sentinel.

Question: What do you plan to be doing at 91 years old?
