Student Projects

Students in Ethical Aspects of Aging will be working with residents at Lutheran Social Services on an ongoing "This I Believe" project. This project connects students with older adults to explore the ethics and values that guide their lives. The students and their partners work together to develop essays that are then submitted to National Public Radio's "This I Believe" project.

The Gerontology Club has teamed up with a local senior center, September House, to provide assistance as volunteers. They will be working with older adults at the senior center in a variety of ways including preparing onsite meals and delivering meals on wheels.
