About

The goal of the Aging Awareness Initiative is to bring awareness about the aging population and address advocacy and action to support the aging community. Students will engage in providing supportive service to the aging community as well as advocate on their behalf and have opportunities to engage in research and training in the area of gerontology—the study of aging.

To learn about opportunities with The Aging Awareness Initiative, please email Dr. Arguelles at targuell@mdc.edu.
