Intergenerational Classroom Opportunities at KPU
Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) is pleased to invite mature learners in our community to participate in an intergenerational classroom opportunity this Fall.
Participants (age 50+) can join undergraduate Psychology courses as active learners—bringing valuable life experience into classroom discussions while engaging in meaningful, university-level learning.
This fall, participants may enroll in one of the following courses:
• Psychology of Genocide (PSYC 4650) – Kyle Matsuba
• Psychology of Memory (PSYC 3215) – Danny Bernstein
To register, participants simply need to complete a short set of forms (including instructor approval). Those aged 65+ may also qualify for a tuition fee exemption.
Spaces are limited, and applications are processed as soon as forms are received.
