[Agedirectors] Invitation to participate in focus group on age inclusivity in higher education

[Montepare, Joann]

Dear Colleagues,
Our research team is seeking your expertise in recommending focus group participants for the study, Moving from Age-Friendly Principles to Practices in U.S. Higher Education: Strategies to Enhance Learning and Workplace Environments, funded by the RRF Foundation for Aging.
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 $50 gift card.
More details are explained in the attached letter. You may send your recommendation using this LINK<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://umassboston.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_79BTCE7Sol3jB6C__;!!PhOWcWs!i-ZAXcmdqi1SDInpI3jiXk8F4MVsS0YjmdlzRTbdjCsRULr0XwBCM9SDlWM09BB_oHGbGsg$ >. You may also volunteer to participate!
