DONATIONS
Financial Commitment to Training
Future Leaders
in the Field of Aging Services
Throughout its history, the
Department of Applied Gerontology and its Center for Studies
in Aging have received extraordinary support from alumni and
other individuals and organizations committed to advancement
of the field of aging and the well-being of older people and
their families.
Gifts are made to scholarship accounts
for immediate distribution to students, to endowed
scholarships, or in support specific educational, research or
service programs conducted by the department.
Often, personal gifts reflect both a
commitment to our programs and a memorial to a former mentor,
family member or caregiver. For service providers and related
organizations, gifts to our program help ensure that the
field’s future leadership will have the knowledge, skills,
professionalism and vision required to address the critical
challenges of our rapidly aging society.
In recent years, gifts to educational
programs in gerontology have become increasingly important as
the costs of higher education and certification have increased
while traditional sources of student and program support have
declined.
The faculty, students and staff of the
Department of Applied Gerontology and the Center for Studies
in Aging express their gratitude to all of those who have
given to our programs since 1967, and formally recognize those
who have made contributions during the past decade of
increasing financial need.
