These classes have been designed for seniors from all walks of life and are meant to highlight the unique contributions of each participant. As members of a group with similar historical experiences, each individual will bring a very personal voice to the universal themes they all witnessed.

Students are supported in their memoir writing through a combination of guidance, monthly writing prompts, and time for shared reading and writing.
