WVII Covers Aging Initiative Workshop
WVII (Channel 7) reported on an Aging Initiative Workshop hosted by the Office of the Vice President for Research at the Buchanan Alumni House. Organizers said Maine’s 65 and older population is growing at a rate three times faster than those under 65, meaning now is the time to use resources to plan for the future, according to the report. The workshop aimed to bring together interested faculty and staff from all disciplines on campus to review past and current research in the area of aging. Breakout sessions provided opportunities to shape the direction of future research, explore interdisciplinary and interprofessional synergies, and build new collaborations.
