"Today's aging population is facing challenges and issues never imagined by their parents. To help them navigate their choices and options, social workers can provide information and guidance . And SWLI is doing its part to respond to changing demographics by proactively supporting and educating highly-qualified social workers who are able to meet this urgent need."

"The Partnership Program is an amazing way to enrich learning while in the MSW program. This program facilitates the students exposure to the varying work that gerontology social workers do. This exposure combined with the extra attention and support by professors ensured adequate preparation for me as I entered the work force."
