Support Gerontology Students!

is our annual day of giving.

Gifts go directly to students to;
- present their work at professional conferences,
- expand their scholarly networks,
- engage with emerging ideas in aging research and practice, and,
- build strong foundations for future careers.

Give your support at GiveToMiamiOH.org/Gerontology

This year Jennifer Kinney, Ph.D. is retiring, so we are taking this opportunity to celebrate her 28 years at Miami. She is a champion for learning beyond the classroom, encouraging students to share their research, attend conferences, and engage with the broader gerontological community.

As new students move into campus and begin their journey, we invite you to reflect on the professors who shaped your experience.

Your support helps ensure that the next generation of gerontologists have transformative opportunities.
