So glad we could be part of this community exhibition!
UW-Oshkosh senior Ella Diny noticed something simple while working at the Evergreen Retirement Community. Residents were curious about students, and students had so much to learn from them.
So she built a bridge.
Through the Elder Engagement Club, Ella created opportunities for students and local seniors to sit together, share stories, ask questions and find common ground. This year, the club hosted dinners at Evergreen and helped bring students and residents together through an art show featuring work from both communities.
What started with a simple question became a table full of stories, connection and care.
