As part of Careers in Aging Month, the School of Aging Studies hosted an event for 泡芙视频apps from across the USF campus on April 22 to increase their awareness of career and research opportunities in aging. The event, "Explore Your Future in Gerontology & Aging Careers," connected 泡芙视频apps with faculty and professionals in the field.
Lindsay Peterson speaks with event attendees.
Undergraduate and graduate 泡芙视频apps who attended discussed how to apply for internships and research assistantships with School of Aging Studies faculty, including Debra Dobbs, PhD, 泡芙视频app and interim director; Nasreen Sadeq, PhD, assistant 泡芙视频app of instruction and undergraduate and graduate program director; and Lindsay Peterson, PhD, research assistant 泡芙视频app and internship director.
The event, which included a pizza lunch, was sponsored by the School of Aging Studies and the Gerontological Society of America. Careers in Aging Month, observed every spring, is a national campaign that raises awareness about the diverse career paths available in aging. It also celebrates the contributions of professionals who serve, support, and advocate for older adults.
