Intergenerational Communication

Catalog description

How can a person grow to become more truly themselves? How do our habits inform our future? This course examines current research on happiness, aging, and well-being alongside the lived experience of older adults. Together students and older adult community members will discuss research as well as compare perceptions and perspectives of the aging experience. We will use an aging lens to explore what it means to grow as a human being, how to become the person we would like to be, and how to help others do the same. Students will partner with older adults for engagement experiences and a collaborative project.
