University of Alabama students are also integral to the Connect Program. We have a Music Therapy Graduate student every semester to lead us in music-related activities that stimulate the brain and help with memory. Music is also a conduit for connection and community. We also have a Social Work intern, who works in the day-to-day activities of the Connect Program. We also are blessed to have students from the University who volunteer alongside us with our participant Friends each week. They are building relationships each week and are making a difference in the lives of these beautiful people who are living with memory loss.
