Description
Retired professors hold decades of craft that campuses rarely tap after retirement. Ramraj Gautam, Karen Devereaux Melillo, and Lisa Abdallah put them to work with undergraduates in a 2024 study. Student teams interviewed one retired professor twice online.
Ninety-four students in a gerontology course took part. Three quarters said their view of older adults turned more positive. A second theme was a clearer grasp of retired life. The chats fit an age-friendly campus drive at their university. Such pairings fight age bias while honoring retirees. The authors back wider use of the model.
