Generations Prom for seniors

Chandler-Gilbert Community College - AZ, Arizona

In a nostalgic turn, a program at Chandler-Gilbert Community College tries to engage the elderly community of Chandler, Arizona, by sponsoring an event that old and young can share in together. Every March, the college sponsors a Generations Prom at the College. Big Band music is played by the college jazz band. Seniors from local community residence centers are paired with student dates for an evening of dance and nostalgia.


From Service Matters 1998: Engaging Higher Education In the Renewal of America s Communities and American Democracy

Through Campus Compact, we can help students learn the value of building communities. The benefit to our campus is not merely that our civic community is improved. It is that our students graduate with habits of good citizenship they will carry through life."

-Michael J. Sheeran, S.J., President, Regis University
