Creative interventions: increasing enrollment, serving students & community, reaffirming gerontology education

The session will focus on innovative ways to increase student enrollment, better meet the needs of students and the communities served, and raise awareness of the crucial role of gerontology education in addressing the needs of a rapidly aging society.
