This webinar explored the emerging movement of cogeneration on college campuses, how older and younger are coming together to solve community problems, expand access to opportunity, and build stronger, more connected communities. You’ll hear insights from a new study by CoGenerate: Can Intergenerational Connection Heal Us? and stories from campuses reimagining how students, older adults, and community partners can collaborate with purpose.

From student-led initiatives to institution-wide strategies, discover how colleges are embedding age-diverse connection into courses, housing, travel, and civic partnerships. Whether you're a student, faculty member, or community innovator, this is your invitation to explore why generations belong together—and how your campus can lead the way.

You’ll also hear from leaders across the country championing this work and learn how to get involved in the Campus CoGenerate Affinity Network, a growing community of leaders advancing innovation in higher education.

You’ll Learn:

  • Why cogeneration matters in higher education now
  • How campuses are bridging generational divides to spark connection and innovation
  • What’s possible when institutions embed cogeneration across campus life
  • How to join a national network rethinking the role of generations in education
