Description
The “Generation Gap” article from St. Norbert College Magazine’s Spring 2015 issue, written by Laura Fredrickson, reflects on the challenges and rewards of leading the college’s inaugural Gap Experience program. Through immersive service-learning across diverse locations—from Appalachia to the Caribbean—Fredrickson shares personal insights into intergenerational dynamics, transformative education, and the power of experiential learning. The program’s emphasis on Catholic social teaching and real-world engagement encourages students to confront social injustice and grow as compassionate, thoughtful leaders. Her story underscores the deep impact of learning beyond the classroom.
