87 – Denise Schwartz Hosts Generations in Dialogue: A Conversation About What Connects Us Across Age and Experience

Community colleges are more than just classrooms; they are hubs where generations collide. In this special episode, host Denise Schwartz speaks with GCC's Associate Dean of Community Engagement Judy Raper and GCC student Carly Mahowald to discuss the social infrastructure that keeps us connected. We’re moving past 'old versus young' headlines to explore how proximity, shared goals, and genuine curiosity can dismantle stereotypes and build a stronger, more resilient community.Photo credit: Denise Schwartz interviewing Judy Raper [Photograph].
