We want to take you!
Attention all Aging Majors and Minors,
The Gerontological Society of America (GSA) is the oldest and largest interdisciplinary organization dedicated to research, education, and practice in the field of aging. This year's annual conference is in Maryland, and we want to take you there!
GSA's principal mission, shared by over 6,000 members, is to promote the study of aging and disseminate information to scientists, decision-makers, and the general public. Founded in 1945, GSA is pivotal in advancing innovation in aging domestically and internationally. GSA membership represent more than 50 countries.
As a student, this conference will give you an opportunity to explore career opportunities in the field of aging, experience research in action, meet professionals in the field, and start building your professional network early. This opportunity will also allow you to see how interdisciplinary aging really can be!
