About Us

Conversations with others leave us more room to grow.

 

This speaker series aims to provide the opportunity for people across generations to form relationships, learn from one another and share their life experiences. Seniors who participate will be given the opportunity to interact with young people, an opportunity that extends beyond family and acquaintances. By attending these events, students will be able to interact with older adults who are actively engaged in the community and in lifelong learning.
