The Ocean County College Foundation’s Blauvelt Speaker Series proudly presents an evening with Dan Buettner on Tuesday, September 17 at 6 p.m. at the Grunin Center for the Arts on the main campus of Ocean County College in Toms River.
Buettner, a renowned explorer, National Geographic Fellow, award-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author, is known for discovering Blue Zones—the five places in the world where people live the longest, healthiest lives. His articles about these places in The New York Times Magazine and National Geographic are two of the most popular for both publications.
Buettner now works with municipal governments, large employers, and health insurance companies to implement Blue Zones Projects in communities, workplaces, and universities. These well-being initiatives aim to apply lessons from the Blue Zones to entire communities by focusing on changes to the local environment, public policy, and social networks. The program has dramatically improved the health of more than 5 million Americans to date.
Tickets are $19 and available at grunincenter.org.
The Blauvelt Speaker Series is funded in part by the generosity of the late Bradford Thomas & Eleanor G. Blauvelt and the Wintrode Family Foundation. This year’s 2024-2025 additional sponsors include Carluccio, Leone, Dimon, Doyle & Sacks, LLC, Arlene and Frank Dupignac, Jr., Kean Ocean, Stella and Marshall Kern, Kiwanis of Greater Toms River, Leone & Daughters, New Jersey Natural Gas, and the Ocean County Vocational-Technical School.
