Intergenerational Learning Symposium

The Auburn University Intergenerational Working Group invites faculty, staff, and students from all disciplines to attend and engage in a campus-wide symposium focused on connecting generations through teaching, research, and community engagement.

This campus-wide initiative seeks to identify and expand intergenerational practices that enrich learning and foster collaboration across age groups—whether in classrooms, research projects, or community partnerships.

The symposium will feature keynote speaker Dr. Cal J. Halvorsen, a gerontological social work scholar from the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis whose work is at the confluence of aging societies, paid and unpaid work, and social purpose. He has expertise on self-employment, job-training programs, volunteering in later life, and intergenerational initiatives, with his work cited in both academic and public spheres.

Sponsored by the Office of the Provost, the Biggio Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning, the Caroline Marshall Draughon Center for the Arts and Humanities, and OLLI at Auburn.
