In celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the USI Service Learning Program held an intergenerational workshop at Carver Community Organization. The workshop gave USI students the opportunity to visit seven seniors and discuss issues in various career fields, including education, construction, entrepreneurship, nursing, farming, and business ownership.

Valerie Sanders, an occupational therapy student, enjoyed her conversation with a senior who worked as a state nurse. "Since I am looking to work in the occupational therapy field, I found her knowledge especially useful," said Sanders. "She had a lot of interesting stories to tell, it's amazing how medical practices have changed over time."

William Saucer, a senior at Carver Community Organization, enjoyed the visit from the students and wished he could have had additional time to share more about his 40-year teaching career. "I had such a good time giving the students advice about things I had to learn the hard way," said Saucer.

Service Learning will hold a follow-up intergenerational workshop at Carver Community Organization later this month.
