About this event

The Campus CoGenerate Affinity Network is a new ongoing collegial network of institutions that focuses on the power generated when older and younger people come together to solve community problems and build a more secure economic future for all.

Led by Campus Compact and CoGenerate, this affinity network brings together faculty, practitioners, and students from Campus Compact member colleges and universities who are actively leading or aspiring to lead cogenerational engagement efforts. Affinity group members will network, build partnerships, and share best practices, empowering campuses across the country to unite older and younger generations to address some of the most pressing challenges facing society. This new affinity network is generously supported by a grant from MetLife Foundation.

The Campus CoGenerate Affinity Network will:

  • Foster collaboration and peer learning through relationship-building activities that enhance both professional and personal growth.
  • Serve as a platform for cogenerational innovation focused on expanding economic opportunity and building networks of support across generations.
  • Engage diverse institutions across Campus Compact membership, including community colleges, HBCUs, HSIs, rural, and faith-based colleges.

 

Who should attend?

The Campus CoGenerate Affinity Network is open to faculty, staff, students, administrators, and community partners at active Campus Compact member institutions.
