Genealogy Students Interview Veterans on Campus
This week, eleven SES students paired up with local veterans to conduct oral history interviews. Students had been trained over two sessions by our Teens Listen program, and we worked in partnership with the Veterans Council of Indian River County to give students this opportunity. This was a fantastic way to build skills like listening, eye contact and reflection and to build intergenerational connections. One student summed it up perfectly, saying, "I'm excited to know that I can talk to people I have never met in a way that is comfortable." Another student learned the importance of work ethic and discipline in conversation with a veteran. And, in a more humorous moment, a student explained, "I now know that the Air Force has the best food of all the branches in the military." You just never know what will come out of a good interview.
