When the kids leave for college, many parents find themselves facing a quieter home and a new chapter in life.

That's the inspiration behind Drew University's empty nester semester - a program designed specifically for adults adjusting to life after their children have moved out.

The semester recently wrapped up in Madison. Participants spent hours each week exploring new interests, discovering hidden talents and connecting with others experiencing the same life transition.

Following the success of its first semester, Drew University plans to expand the program and bring it back for future sessions, offering even more opportunities.
