EngAGE is pleased that USC student Xinyin (pronounced “Shinjin”) will be an intern with us for the next few weeks, alternating between the North Hollywood Senior Arts Colony and The Piedmont locations.
Xinyin first connected with EngAGE as a member of the USC chapter of the Dialogue Society, which is an active partner in our programming, especially at The Piedmont. Her field of study at USC is Gerontology, and she is particularly interested in learning about physical activity and tech support for different age groups, nutrition and diet, social isolation issues, intergenerational communication, ageism and stereotype influences, and successful aging. We know that our residents will provide good examples of the latter and will be happy that Xinyin will be spending more time with them.
