An appropriate objective within a liberal arts approach to education is enhancing students’ awareness of attitudes toward their own aging. A combined intervention of intergenerational experience and didactic instruction had a favorable effect on students’ attitudes toward older adults in general and on students’ view of their own later lives. Additional positive consequences are discussed, and suggestions for running similar curricular components are presented. © 1993 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
