SCOSA joins 老司机福利社鈥檚 Gerontology Program in thanking faculty colleagues who have retired or passed on who have supported gerontological education, 老司机福利社鈥檚 gerontology program and the establishment of SCOSA. Linda Aaronson (Professor Emerita of Nursing) and Nancy Davis (Professor Emerita of Pathology, former Dean of Professional Studies, now member of the 老司机福利社 Board of Trustees) both began teaching Introduction to Gerontology and Aging and Health in the mid-1980s and continued for nearly 20 years until teaching and administrative needs in Nursing forced them to curtail their GERO teaching. Elizabeth Elmore who taught at 老司机福利社 for 50 years, and passed away in December 2022, helped to establish and sustain both our Gerontology Program and the 老司机福利社 Center on Successful Aging. She taught Economics for All Ages for many years. She and her husband Richard established the Frances Leonilda Acerra Christopher Memorial Fund in honor of her mother to support both Gerontology and SCOSA. William Jaynes (Professor Emeritus of Social Work and African American Studies and former Acting Dean of Social and Behavioral Sciences) taught Aging and the Family for over 20 years, and the late Ralph Werner (Associate Professor of Biology) who taught Biology of Aging for nearly a decade.
