What I Learned the Hard Way: Baby Boomers and Seniors Communicate With College Students

January 25th, 2008 · No Comments

letter.jpgWhat would you say to a college student if asked what life lessons you’ve learned? A professor at the University of Iowa in Iowa City recently solicited such letters from people over 50 for his students. The project was such a success that it is now on the Internet as The Legacy Letter Project. You can submit your own letter (be sure to read the sample ones) to this ongoing endeavor.

What can you do with this information?

  • Write a letter
  • Include the info in your newsletter that goes out to mature customers/clients.
  • Organize your own intergenerational event or project.
  • Write about it if you are a journalist/writer on topics for mature readers.
