"The staff is supportive and knowledgeable. They've given me great advice. They're really great."
—Joanna

"In some programs students are just a number; we weren't."
—Shannon Gimbrone, 2003

"The faculty and staff in the Gerontology Institute are insightful and caring people who truly want to help you realize your dreams."
—Bethany Boilard, 2003

"The nice thing about gerontology is that we're such a small department that the Institute is able to help out when you come to them with a plan or a proposal that will help your education or your networking. "
—Dan

"A major strength is the intimacy of the Institute. The faculty is incredible. Every professor I've had has been more than I could imagine. [Coming to college] might scare high school students since you're used to knowing teachers. I was afraid the professors might not care if I do well. But here they really do care if you do well. They really want to help you succeed."
