to stimulate and coordinate gerontological and aging instruction,
research, and community service on the Manoa campus and to promote
collaboration between the University and other organizations concerned
with aging. The gerontology program draws together faculty and students
from a variety of academic areas. The center coordinates two certificate
programs (undergraduate and advanced) and supports the development of
new courses. For information on the certificate programs see the
“School of Public Health” section of this Catalog. The center
conducts interdisciplinary research (with a special interest in
