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.

The Upper Midwest Campus Compact Consortium's Student Civic Leadership Institute was the most amazing thing that I have experienced in a long, long time. It is truly what my soul has been searching for. It is justification for all the hard work we do, from Student Senate to service-learning. I returned a rejuvenated and refreshed student who is willing and ready to begin the change."
