What will be the educational benefit for students on the West Campus?
The Regis East campus will create educational opportunities in most fields of study for Regis West students. They may be tutored or mentored by Senior Scholars, and they will also have opportunities to tutor or mentor Senior Scholars. Picture a tech-savvy undergraduate helping a Senior Scholar set up a web site or page on Facebook, or an international student as a language partner to a Senior Scholar seeking to learn a new language. All students, from the Children’s Center through the doctoral program, will benefit from active engagement with well elders while dispelling myths related to aging. Students in our School for Nursing and Health Professions will benefit from expanded geriatrics and gerontology curriculum. Undergraduate and graduate students under Regis faculty supervision will participate in providing home care services and more. Students in social work, health and fitness studies, and other social science disciplines will benefit from interdisciplinary clinical internships
