Matt Isola (Advert’17; MStComm’18) started the nonprofit Generation Exchange while he was still a CU student. Generation Exchange is a program that links together young adults and elders to swap knowledge, advice and stories. Matt came up with the idea after being assigned a project at CU to fix a social issue. He helped his grandfather’s friend set up a new iPad and gained a close friend out of the experience. “I unlocked a mentor that day,” Matt said in an article written by Sarah McKinney Gibson (Mktg’98) for PBS’s Next Avenue. “I thought I was going over there to help him, but he helped me 10 times more with life.” More than 2,000 people have participated in Generation Exchange workshop.
