Join us this Winter, 2026, at Trent University!
Intergenerational Classroom at Trent University is Seeking Older Community Participants!
Between January and April, 2026, Trent psychology professor Dr. Elizabeth Russell is inviting older people from the area to join us weekly, as community participants, in a ground-breaking intergenerational classroom!
Embedded within her third-year Psychology of Aging course, community participants will experience a unique opportunity to build meaningful intergenerational connections with students while learning and sharing about aging.
While we thank all applicants for their interest in the intergenerational classroom, space is limited.
Eligible community participants must be:
- Age 65+
- Available to join us in person on Fridays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekly from January 9 until April 3, 2026, at the Trent University Symons Campus
Our goal is to highlight the diverse and unique experiences of aging in a welcoming and inclusive classroom environment. We encourage people from all walks of life, including those from underrepresented groups, to apply!
