We currently have approx. 80 students working on a variety of projects.
The students represent the disciplines of: psychology, occupational
therapy, anthropology, art (graphic design), and social work. During
Careers in Aging Week, we would like to recognize them with small
tokens of appreciation. We will hang GSA posters at the various
schools and promote careers in aging.
