Abstract	I would like to thank everyone who participated and helped to make this course possible. I would like to give a special thanks to Dr. Phil Clark for his support and guidance, Nora Hall, Beth Leconte, Roberta Palmer, and OLLI. Everyone exists within a diverse society. There are multiple races, ethnicities, and generations. Most people only share meaningful dialogue with people of similar ages. In order to be a cohesive society this tendency has to change. Learning happens throughout the life course. For this reason it is one of the best techniques for bringing different people together. This course combined traditional URI students aged 19-22 and Osher Life Long Learning Institute (OLLI) members aged 50-93. There were three main topics, entertainment, relationships, and social movements that were discussed over the course of six weeks. The structure of each topic framed each segment in terms of where we were, where we are currently, and where we are going. I had many goals when I created this class. I wanted to address generation stereotyping in a subtle non-direct way, further integrate URI and the OLLI program, and I wanted people to engage in meaningful discussion with people they would not normally share this type of interaction with. I was able to evaluate the outcome of these goals through a qualitative analysis of responses to question prompts handed out after the majority of classes. There were a large variety of questions and each required students to critically think about society and intergenerational relationships.
