The American Society on Aging recognized the GRACE Program during the 2019 Aging in America conference in Atlanta. During the past five years, thanks to the financial support from the St. David’s Foundation, the GRACE program has brought 50 master’s students to the annual conference.
“This is such a great opportunity for our students to learn about aging issues from experts in the field and network with professionals from all areas of aging services,” GRACE Program Director Sarah Swords said. “The experience really helps students envision themselves contributing to the field of geriatric social work in the future.”
