“Fundamentals of Gerontology” course provides team of busy professionals with valuable evidence-based information on aging, says LA Dept. of Aging General Manager and USC Davis alumna Laura Trejo. Next online classes start April 4!
The panel discussion, moderated by Chairman of the Milken Institute Center for the Future of Aging and USC Davis School Distinguished Scholar in Residence Paul Irving, covered many aging topics and upcoming challenges and opportunities for older adults.
In its second year, the weekend course presented by the Davis School and the USC Marshall School of Business featured a wide array of experts in aging, business, senior housing, and law.
