Association for Gerontology in Higher Education

Mission statement:

As the only national membership organization devoted primarily to gerontological education, the Association for Gerontology in Higher Education (AGHE) is in a unique position to develop and sponsor education and training initiatives and to involve students, educators, researchers, and officials from across the country in providing resources for older adults and for those who serve them. AGHE and its members are strongly committed to the well-being of older adults. Together, AGHE and aging-studies programs in institutions of higher education strive to: (1) prepare service delivery personnel who will work directly with elderly adults; (2) train educators who specialize in the physical and social attributes of aging; (3) educate society at large about the processes of aging and the implications of an aging society; and (4) instruct older adults seeking to maximize their options in a complex and challenging age.
