Hi Jean:  Not sure of who is teaching what courses these days, so I’m putting out a query on the affiliates listserv (copied here) and ask people to contact you directly about any courses they are teaching concerning aging.

Best, Neil

Hello Bill,

I am currently the Director of the Certificate in Gerontology. One of the challenges we have found is identifying courses outside the College of Social Work that students can take to meet the requirements. ISL has been one of the resources that has been helpful. At one point there was a course on Caregiving. I don't know if it is current or which department offerred it. Would you happen to know anything about that course in particular or any new courses that have come online?

Many thanks for all you do.

Jean
