Strong partnerships between universities and senior living organizations are essential to developing the next generation of senior living leaders.

Join the Vision Centre for a panel discussion exploring how universities and senior living and aging services organizations can build meaningful, effective partnerships that benefit students, educators, and the industry.

Our panelists will share their experiences and perspectives on what makes these partnerships successful, challenges they have encountered, and best practices for building and sustaining strong university-industry relationships. The discussion will also introduce the Vision Centre’s “Building Bridges” initiative, formally launching in 2027.

There will be time for audience Q&A and discussion about opportunities for building partnerships and taking the next steps.
