"The Mutual Gifts of Intergenerational Connection" with Marissa Birne and Molly Jo Krupkin
Marissa Birne appreciates the opportunity to share stories of the older adults who have shaped her life—through their wisdom, humor, traditions, and love—and reflect on how older generations can find meaning in sharing stories and experiences with younger ones. While offering her reflections on the mutual benefits of intergenerational connection, she will invite us to consider: What have you learned from older people who have made a difference for you? And what are you hoping to pass on to younger people in your life to help them grow, thrive, and develop their own sense of purpose?
Marissa Birne is the Associate Director of Education at the UVM Center on Aging, where she oversees educational opportunities in gerontology and geriatrics, including a 'Grand Friends' service-learning program; Molly Jo Krupkin is a senior Human Development and Family Sciences major at UVM. She is new to learning about aging and the complexities of the topic, and she is excited and eager to continue engaging and learning!
