This summer, our interns wrapped up their cohort experience by bringing generations together!🤝
As their group project, interns from each campus planned and led an intergenerational event designed to create meaningful connections across ages. Through thoughtful conversations, fun games and playful activities, these gatherings gave participants the opportunity to learn from one another, build relationships and bridge generations.
Because when generations come together, we create stronger connections, greater understanding and a sense of community where everyone has something to share and something to learn. 💓
