[Genealib] Getting College Age Students Involved

[Molinario, Linda]

We recently had a summer reading program called T.S.I. (Teen Scene
Investigation) that touted "detective work." In genealogy, we stressed
the new information about DNA and how it can be used to verify and trace
your family's origins. College age is a bit older than teens, but a lot
of them have still grown up familiar with DNA, etc.

I am a library student that is interested in forming a group of college
age individuals (age 20-35) that are interested in genealogy. The
problem I am having is coming up with ideas on how to reach this age
group. Does anyone have any ideas or successful programming that they
would like to share? Thanks!
