Hi all - Read more about the Age-Friendly University (AFU) initiative announced at the GSA Plenary - and pass a copy along to your colleagues and campus leaders!

Higher Education and Aging: The Age-Friendly Movement
Building a Case for Age Inclusivity

This What's Hot addresses shifts in demographics that are leading to changes in higher education enrollment and illustrates how principles of the Age-Friendly University movement can be adopted to successfully address those changes. From welcoming older learners to ensuring graduates are prepared to work with and care for older persons, this edition of What's Hot provides perspective on applying the broader age-friendly movement to higher education. The publication covers shifting perspectives about aging populations, the needs of a multigenerational workforce, the Age-Friendly University Movement, and examples of how several institutions of higher learning have embraced age inclusivity. It also provides resources for those wishing to learn more about age inclusivity in higher education.
