The MU Alumni OWL Project WHAT The Sociology of Aging class, Department of Sociology & Anthropology at Marshall University is inviting MU Alumni age 50 and older to write personal letters that contain stories, advice and other life wisdom to current college students. The letters should give insight on what the writers know now that they wish they would have known when they were in their 20s. The idea for this cross-generational writing project is to pass on knowledge and help start a conversation between generations of Marshall Students.
