The Bridging Generations Pathway’s wide range of projects and programs facilitate student awareness of contemporary issues facing seniors in our society. Students taking courses in the Sociology of Aging, Anthropology, Linguistics, Sociology, and Biology have the opportunities to work with the local kūpuna in our community. They work with elders from all walks of life and in various capacities (long-term care, active aging, and recently in gardens), bridging the generational gap that disconnects elders and youth.
