💚💛 We had a wonderful time at the HHS Emeritus luncheon on September 8th. It was great to see all of our emeritus faculty, and we were delighted to be joined by three former HHS Deans: Dr. Marilyn Hopkins, Dr. Fred Baldini, and Dr. Robin Carter! We also were privileged to hear Faculty and students from across the college present their research on topics including the effects of long covid, the creation of a student-led health clinic for aging people, and addressing age-related illness in older adults who are incarcerated.

💚💛 Dr. Katie Savin (Assistant Professor, School of Social Work) published an article with Dr. Callie Freitag (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and Dr. Matthew Borus (Binghampton University) on recent struggles faced when attempting to access Social Services in the United States.
