The Gerontological Society of America (GSA) — the nation’s largest interdisciplinary organization devoted to the field of aging — has named 43 exemplary professionals as its newest fellows.
The status of fellow — the highest class of membership within the Society — is an acknowledgment of outstanding and continuing work in gerontology. This recognition can come at varying points in an individual’s career and can acknowledge a broad scope of activity. This includes research, teaching, administration, public service, practice, and notable participation within the organization. Fellows are chosen from each of GSA’s four membership sections and its educational organization, the Academy for Gerontology in Higher Education.
The new fellows will be formally recognized during GSA’s 2019 Annual Scientific Meeting, which will be held from November 13 to 17 in Austin, Texas. Full details of this conference are available at http://www.
