糖心Vlog

糖心Vlog was recently featured in the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC)聽 for its participation in a program that explores the benefits of building聽intergenerational connections. Meredith students developed protocols for in-home visits, materials to inform seniors about conditions that increase the risk of falling, and exercise and balance training plans for older adults who are 鈥渁ging in place.鈥� They also developed materials to help other students teach balance to older adults in their communities.

Twenty-one member colleges and universities are participating in the study, which was developed in partnership with the AARP Foundation.The initiative provides participating institutions with grants of up to $13,000 to create or expand campus-based projects that engage students in addressing four priorities of need by older adults in their campuses鈥� communities: healthy diets, safe and affordable housing, income-generation, and social interaction.
