WE STARTED 2021 WITH A NEW SERIES!<\/h2>\n

Five Tuesday evenings in the first quarter of 2021 were spent online with VCU gerontologists, providers, and researchers in an attempt to explore some of the latest trends in gerontology. Community members, students, and professionals were invited to learn and grow together. All sessions were offered online and free of charge to community members and professionals.<\/p>\n

Join us in reviewing these exciting sessions through the exploration of five trends in gerontology!<\/p>\n

Diversity in aging is a foundational principle in gerontology. As we age, we become more different and more distilled into our unique, incredibly complex selves. As we consider life at the intersection of age, gender, sexual orientation, and race, the critical call to action is for organizations and systems to celebrate intersectionality by focusing on inclusivity.
Join us on journey into intersectionality and inclusivity!<\/p>\n
