The Centre on Aging is hosting students targeting aging research (STAR) for students attending the University of Manitoba.

The aim of STAR is to provide students, whose interest is in aging, with an opportunity to discuss their shared interests, network with their peers, learn about current issues in gerontology from researchers in aging, and stay up-to-date on aging related topics.

Upcoming meetings

The next two meetings are scheduled to take place at Fort Garry Campus on

• October 7, 2013 from 12:00 to 1:00 pm
• October 21, 2013 from 12:00 to 1:00 pm

Why should I take part?

Gerontology is a diverse and complex field, with the expected number of older adults expected to increase. By 2031, it is projected that the 65 to 74 year olds will account for 10.8% of Manitoba’s population. And by 2036, the number of Manitobans aged 75 to 84 is projected to near 125,000.

At the University of Manitoba, Centre Research Affiliates represent 16 faculties. Aging issues require the collaboration and teamwork of individuals from different backgrounds. By networking with your peers, you can make connections with like minded individuals who share the same interests in aging.
