Grandparents Spending Time w/Grandkids at College

Grandparents
Spending Quality Time With Grandchildren...In College


"I wanted to create a space on campus where different generations can interact and have fun," explains the program director, Mary Braz, an assistant professor of Communication Studies.


This summer, West Chester University in West Chester, PA will see a whole new group of students when the University holds its first "Grandparents University" from June 28 - 30. This unique collegiate learning experience is open to grandparents of all ages and their grandchildren, ages 8 to 14.
At Grandparents University, grandparents and kids will attend college together as West Chester University "students." For two nights and three days, students will live in the new dormitories, share meals at Lawrence Dining Hall, enroll in courses, attend classes taught by University faculty, explore campus and enjoy evening entertainment and activities. The program concludes with a Sunday graduation ceremony and family celebration complete with an awarding of diplomas to every "graduate."
An "early bird" registration is available through April 30, and a discount is offered to University alumni. For program information, contact Mary Braz at 610-436-3328 or mbraz@wcupa.edu.
