Your generosity can transform a life.
The Department is fantastic. I've really been lucky to have the opportunity to be a part of the Department for both my undergraduate and master's degrees because the undergraduate program had allowed me to gain a broader view of health care and social aging, while the master's programs had allowed me to focus on my topics of interest and develop a deeper understanding of those topics.

Volunteering is one great way to test out different career paths while gaining amazing experience and building your network.

The degree I completed in Health Studies provided with an excellent foundation to enter the nursing program. The program thoroughly educated me in a number of health and aging topics and encouraged me to think about these topics critically.
