Welcome to the OAGE Directory of Gerontology Programs in Ohio! The Ohio Association of Gerontology and Education developed this resource for students, professionals, and educators who are interested in gerontological education opportunities in Ohio. Data collection for the directory began in spring 2003, and continues in the spring of 2004 as we make the directory available. We have done our best to include all educational programs in gerontology throughout the state, and to provide only accurate information. But we need your help. As you become aware of omissions or errors, please contact us with the correct information. With your help, we can keep the directory current. Jennifer Lanter Jennifer Kinney (kinneyjm@muohio.edu) Scripps Gerontology Center, Miami University

This icon appears with several institutions in the directory. Its appearance indicates that the institution supports a local chapter of Sigma Phi Omega, the National Honor Society formed in 1980 to recognize the excellence of those who study gerontology/aging, as well as of the professional aging service personnel.
