Relaunched in April 2018, the Center for Successful Aging’s mission is to bring together faculty, students, and community partners to develop creative solutions for diverse aging populations. The Center for Successful Aging fosters interdisciplinary applied research, program evaluation, and workforce development as a means to reduce disparities and promote well-being in Long Beach and beyond. Our

primary focus is promoting social connectivity by linking generations, developing positive associations with aging, and preparing the workforce for increasingly large cohorts of older adults. We are committed to promoting aging well and with dignity for all by addressing social isolation, creating meaningful opportunities for social connectedness, and preparing the current and future workforce for the care and service of older adults across disciplines. www.csulb.edu/aging
Over the last 3 years the Center has:
• Provided technical support to numerous community partners (including the MPTF Social Isolation and Loneliness Coalition; the Los Angeles Aging and Community Health Alliance; the Long Beach Health Department Healthy Aging Center; and Chair of the Long Beach Aging Services Collaborative – a collaborative of approximately 35 service providers).
• Provided hands-on learning opportunities for students: 16 interns, 30 student (SCAN) scholarship recipients, and 10 paid assistants to date.
• Conducted applied research on health disparities in aging and workforce development (Systematic Observation of Mask Adherence and Distancing/SOMAD with Kaiser Permanente/Rand; Addressing disparities in utilization of support services for ADRD Latino Caregivers; the impact of experience on changing attitudes towards working with older adults
• The Center for Successful Aging has also hosted 16 presentations on diverse topics of health and aging.
