Description
Joann Montepare argues that universities built for the young have become natural partners in the age-friendly movement reshaping towns and hospitals. Populations are aging, and campuses now teach many older learners returning for growth or a second act. The Age-Friendly University initiative offers principles for welcoming them: flexible learning, research that includes older adults, and engagement beyond the gates.
Montepare's talk maps the synergies. An age-friendly campus can feed volunteers to age-friendly communities, train workers for age-friendly health systems, and model inclusive hiring for age-friendly employers. Each initiative lends the others credibility and staying power. Challenges, from funding to habit, are named plainly. The closing examples show partnerships already working, offered as templates for institutions still deciding whether age belongs in their mission.
