Faculty Associates of the UMaine Center on Aging

Many of the most ambitious goals of the Center on Aging will be accomplished through the contributions of a broad-based collective of individuals and organizations who partner with us in preparing for an aging society and an aging Maine.

UMCoA Faculty Associates are a select roster of educators, researchers, and administrators drawn from UMaine schools and departments as well as other University of Maine System institutions and organizations. Each has special interest and/or expertise in understanding and interpreting the aging process and old age. UMCoA represents a formal site where their work in the field of aging can be facilitated and disseminated to the broader Maine community.

Faculty Associates have the opportunity to participate in Center-sponsored programming and have access to technical and administrative support, resources, and a sponsorship base for their aging-related professional activities. The Center also functions as a clearinghouse and organizational nucleus, announcing to the larger community the Faculty Associates' work in the field of aging. Further, they have the opportunity to partner and contribute their expertise to Center on Aging research, education, and community service initiatives.
