Older & Wiser Letter Project
Older & Wiser Letter Project (OWL) The Fall 2009 Sociology of Aging class invites Marshall 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. Letters can be of any length and should include a photo of yourself in your 20s. Letters are being accepted until November 1, 2009. Letters can be mailed or emailed to Dr. Sullivan at Marshall University. Please see the OWL website for more information.
