Villa St. Benedict and North Central College Partner to Record History

Villa St. Benedict and North Central College recently have teamed up to offer a program entitled, “Learning Legacy”. This new program based loosely on National Public Radio’s (NPR) Story Corps is becoming a big hit for the students and the residents alike.

Students from North Central College in Naperville, IL are volunteering their time to come to Villa St. Benedict and record the stories/history of the residents on campus. The stories are recorded and are turned into Compact Disc’s for the residents to share with their friends and families. North Central College as well as Villa St. Benedict will also keep a copy of the story for archive purposes.

This new program is a wonderful opportunity for the students as well as the residents to share information and really interact with each other while recording a little piece of history.
