We aim to develop age-friendly campus strategies related to teaching and learning, personnel, and student affairs. We are using virtual focus groups with campus administrators, staff, faculty, and older students to develop these practical strategies. The focus group will take approximately 1 hour to complete and each participant will receive a $50 gift card. More details are explained in the attached letter. You may send your recommendation using this LINK. You may also volunteer to participate! We are happy to address any questions: UMass.AFUStudy at umb.edu Thank you for your input!
