Intergenerational Experiential Learning & Service Opportunities
The Pruett Gerontology Center promotes healthy ways to connect with the older generations both on a personal level and on professional levels. Because the study of aging involves all walks of life, activities involve all ages and all departments across campus.
The Pruett Gerontology Center helps facilitate experiential learning through intergenerational activities such as:
- Intergenerational Study Abroad Programs
- Images of Aging Photo Contest
- Participation in the Texas Silver-Haired Legislature Town Hall
