General Information 
 With
a grant from the Corporation for National Service, the Association for
Gerontology in Higher Education, and Generations Together, Dr. Raeann
Hamon, Professor of Family Science and Gerontology at Messiah College,
has developed an intergenerational service-learning component in its "Sociology
of Aging" course. This course provides an introduction into the field
of social gerontology with emphasis on how elderly both affect and are
affected by our society. Through their work with Elder Service Partners,
students will understand the relevance and application of classroom knowledge
gained through traditional methods such as lectures, discussions, videos,
and readings. This project will also enhance intergenerational communication
and understanding between students and elders in the community while increasing
students' awareness of social issues related to age groups and older adults.
