Vision


To be a leader in, and promoter of, creative teaching and an academically sound, theoretically strong gerontology curriculum and human services curriculum.

To be an innovator in responding to substantive directions of change in the gerontological field and human services field in research and research-related activities.

To develop and cultivate dynamic sites, physically and socially, where a community of thinkers and doers recognize older adults as partners, and truly learn about, as well as from, older persons.

To be an active and steadfast advocate, in word and deed, politically and socially, for the aged population and disenfranchised, oppressed persons in general.
