<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Good afternoon Julie,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Thank you for the effort to create a database of gerontology programs. I shared the attached with members of the Age Directors Interest Group who are cc’d here. I received it from a colleague
who has not responded to my request as to their source just yet. I am aware that information about programs is also available here
<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.aghedirectory.org/__;!!PhOWcWs!2Xpv-GKTbHS8yUT1kDe-gMkdkfm90EnlmbV6ynXtItxdb2K6BagBm5Ikb3nUlV7Jl9SkxDfMdXa223IoNtjBjg$">https://www.aghedirectory.org/</a>. It was recently perfectly updated for the USF School of Aging Studies. Thank you.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I think we all have the same goal, which is to highlight programs that focus on gerontology so students are aware of educational opportunities and can search for programs in a comprehensive,
complete, and accurate database. I am not suggesting that the Champions of Aging do more work. But conducting a proper, comprehensive search of gerontology/aging programs to enrich your already existing database seems appropriate. In fact, I believe that the
members of the GSA SRPP leadership group held just earlier this week discussed conducting a larger effort to contact the universities and colleges on their own list to update their own information with a comprehensive search based on recommendations by the
directors of the relevant programs. This is very exciting. I can assure you that the USF School of Aging Studies would be happy to participate in this effort as needed.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I look forward to assisting in building on the current effort and again, thank you for your work to move us in the direction of a comprehensive database of programs facilitating education about
gerontology—the study of the various aspects of aging.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I am sending the document with gerontology programs listed that we discussed during the meeting. I know Joann and her group at AGHE is already working on updating the document so surely the information
is now more complete. This may be a great way to promote gerontology programs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
