Subject: Intergenerational Arts Based Research Recruitment (April)
To: dicke at ucr.edu <dicke at ucr.edu>


I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in Expressive Therapies at Lesley
University and an Adjunct Professor of Music Therapy at Biola University.
My IRB-approved dissertation explores intergenerational connection through
the arts, music, and storytelling.

The study will take place on April 11, 18, and 25 at Pilgrim Place, a
retirement community in Claremont. I am currently seeking six to eight
college-aged participants (18–24) to each partner with an older adult (80+)
for a three-week, arts-based engagement series.

Participation includes:
• A one-hour pre-study Meet & Greet
• Three 90-minute weekly sessions featuring music-led reminiscence,
partnered storytelling, and collaborative artmaking - culminating in a
joint creative piece
• A post-project 1:1 interview with me

The study examines how both generations experience connection, loneliness,
and belonging through shared artistic expression.

I've attached a recruitment flyer and would be so grateful if you could
share it with your students or anyone who might be interested, particularly
those seeking community service hours. Please don't hesitate to reach out
with any questions.

With gratitude,
Rita
