How we talk about age shapes how we learn, teach, and work. Join us for a Campus Conversation to explore the  Age Inclusivity in Higher Education Quick Start Guide and practical communication strategies for creating more age-inclusive campuses. Grounded in the Age Inclusivity Domains of Higher Education (AIDHE) model and informed by the National Center to Reframe Aging, this interactive webinar will highlight how everyday language influences perceptions of aging and belonging. You'll leave with tools to engage campus members, strengthen age-inclusive communication across different domains of campus activity, and foster aging literacy at your institution. Whether you're a faculty member, staff, student, or other campus leader, you'll gain useful ideas to put into practice to build a campus culture where individuals of every age can thrive.
