J.C. Penney pioneered the concept of purposeful living in retirement. Volunteering is at the heart of purposeful living. His vision lives on to this day with a broad variety of activities and ministries, both on and off campus, run by its residents. Resident run Penney Arts in Public Places (PAPS) manages a permanent collection of over 300 pieces displayed in more than 75 locations around campus, bringing beauty and interest to the lives of the residents.
