GSA promotes age inclusivity in higher education

The Gerontological Society of America (GSA) and its educational section, the Academy for Gerontology in Higher Education, with support from AARP, have produced a new toolkit that can be used by faculty, students, administrators, and other campus leaders, to help ensure age inclusivity within academic courses and programs. The tools may be adapted to meet an institution's approach to making the case, building relationships, addressing ageism, crafting new efforts, and conducting assessments, according to GSA. Active aging organizations with communities that are located near universities may want to share the kit with these institutions and encourage partnerships.
