The Pennsylvania Department of Aging (PDA) was joined by students and faculty from Penn State Scranton along with older adults today to announce the expansion of the department's Intergenerational University Connections Program."Meeting in person with students, faculty, and older adults who are participating in the program highlights the positive impact the program has on everyone involved. The stories that they have shared and what they have learned from each other and about themselves has shown how valuable this program has become," said Secretary of Aging Robert Torres. "The feedback from the universities also gives the Department of Aging great insight on what works or doesn't work so we can improve the experience as we continue to build and expand this program."Speakers Include:Dr. Marwan Wafa, Penn State Scranton chancellorRobert Torres, Secretary of AgingGabrielle Geldhof, Senior Psychology MajorJaclyn Fusik, Senior Human Development & Family Studies MajorRenae McNair, Professor of PsychologyMarissa Ivanko, Junior Human Development & Family Studies Major
