Anyone passing Krauss Hall in October may have noticed an uncommon campus sight: kūpuna (older adults), mākua (adults) and ōpio (youth) sharing pizza and meaningful conversation. The gathering marked the launch of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoaʻs new Age-Friendly University Initiative, a long-term effort led by the Center on Aging (COA) in the Thompson School of Social Work and Public Health, with campus partners including the UH Retirees ʻOhana and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.
