WELCOME FROM THE DEAN

4

Welcome!

Congratulations once again on your admission to the USC Davis School of Gerontology!

I hope this student handbook will answer many of the questions that arise as you begin your journey, and will help you to become more familiar with the amazing faculty, students and surroundings here.

Aging truly is the most universal of human experiences, and we are the very tip of the spear of the aging revolution here at the USC Davis School. As a small school within a large research university, we ensure that our students receive rigorous, highly personalized educational experiences studying with some of the world’s leading experts in fields such as biology, neuroscience, psychology, sociology and public policy.

Gerontology—the study of aging across the lifespan—is an exciting field that contains a wide range of opportunities for those who study it. We are proud to be the world’s oldest and largest school of gerontology, and hold ourselves to a lofty mission: to enhance healthy aging through research, service and education.

I encourage you to make the most of your experience here, both in and out of the classroom or laboratory. A great place to start would be to start making connections: with your fellow students, with our staff, with our faculty. I personally look forward to meeting each and every one of you in the coming semester, and to seeing the fantastic things that you will accomplish here, and beyond.

Sincerely,

Pinchas Cohen, M.D.Dean, USC Davis School of GerontologyExecutive Director, Andrus Gerontology Center

HISTORY OF THE ANDRUS GERONTOLOGY CENTER AND USC DAVIS SCHOOL OF GERONTOLOGY

5

Founded in 1975, the USC Davis School of Gerontology is the oldest and largest school of its type in the world. We offer the most comprehensive selection of geron-tology degree programs found anywhere, a variety of outstanding research opportuni-ties and a challenging yet supportive academic environment.

The USC Davis School of Gerontology and its research and services arm, the Ethel Percy Andrus Gerontology Center, are home to today’s leaders in the field, as well as to tomorrow’s.

We take our names in honor of two pioneers in the field of aging services, Ethel Percy Andrus, Ph.D., and Leonard Davis, who were also the co-founders of AARP.

Faculty at the USC Davis School conduct basic and applied research across multiple disciplines, which provides graduate and postgraduate training in the biological, social, policy and behavioral sciences.

In addition to the USC Davis School, the Andrus Center houses a wide array of research projects, centeres and institutes, including the USC/UCLA Center in Biodemography and Population Health, the Los Angeles Caregivers

Resource Center, the USC Longevity Institute, the Emotion & Cognition Lab and the Fall Prevention Center of Excellence, among many others.

There are also opportunities to take courses in other areas of the university includ-ing the medical campus; you may also attend lectures and seminars at UCLA and the RAND Corporation. As you can see, the USC Davis School of Gerontology is a dynamic, exciting and highly respected institution…and we’re so glad to have you aboard!

Welcome to our community!

A LETTER FROM THE STUDENT ADVISOR

7

I’m Jim deVera, the student advisor for the USC Davis School of Gerontology! My job is to help you successfully navigate your studies here.

I’ll do everything I can to assist you or to refer you to the proper individual or office, but when it comes to university guidelines and policies, ignorance is not an excuse. Communication is key! Just remember: while I’m here to help you with any questions or concerns you may have, it is ultimately your responsibility to complete all degree requirements.

I will frequently email students with announcements of upcoming events, scholarships, job openings,

enrichment opportunities and additional USC and USC Davis School news. Please make sure that you check your USC email often, or provide me with the address that you will use instead.

I know being a student means you’re going to be busy, but I suggest that you consider staying in regular communication with me as well as with our faculty and staff.

The better we get to know you and your unique skills,passions and goals, the more likely we are to be able to help you reach them, suggest you for award nominations or to connect you with likeminded colleagues or professional opportunities.

The USC Davis School of Gerontology is full of people who share your wonderful dream of improving the quality of life for older adults, and it’s never too early to start building a vibrant, supportive academic, personal and professional network. We’re so glad you’re here, and we want to do all we can to help you succeed. I look forward to hearing from you!

Fight On!
