The EXSC faculty are tossing around the idea of Pickleball with a Professor this semester!

If you would be interested in playing,please choose any of the time frames that might work in your schedule. No skill needed. It’s a time to meet your profs, maybe some other EXSC majors, and be active! Our goal would be to try and get them counted as BTC events as well.

We all wish to become wise in our old age, but what about becoming SAGE? That wish is now granted thanks to our Shenandoah University - Department of Psychology's own, Dr. Scott King & SU Registrar's office, Emily Hollins who have developed the Shenandoah Adult Growth and Enrichment program! Read the full article to learn all about this wonderful educational opportunity for our area's aging adult community members.

Shenandoah University is piloting a new lifelong learning program that will allow older adults to participate in select college courses alongside undergraduate students without the stress of homework and exams.

Created by Professor of Psychology Scott King, Ph.D., and Shenandoah University Registrar Emily Hollins, Shenandoah Adult Growth and Enrichment (SAGE) is designed for adults 60 and older who want to stay intellectually active alongside traditional-age students.

King has seen many friendships develop between his students and older adults over the years and has built similar friendships of his own. Hollins, another proud Gen Xer, counts numerous older adults among her close personal friends, and she has even traveled to Uzbekistan and Thailand with a friend who is in her 70s. King and Hollins hope SAGE will promote similar intergenerational connections more broadly across Shenandoah University and the local community.
