Gerontology education in one graduate school of social work is advancing across a life course. From its origins of three students, now over 100 graduates serve elders and significant others. Grounding, growing, and sustaining gerontology as a "concentration" comes with challenge and reward. This article denotes the origins of a gerontology concentration, describing "community as impetus" and "outreach to students." It proceeds to concentration outcomes, presenting "alumni as partners" and "community as beneficiary." Sustainment of gerontology as a concentration is attributed to internal and external investment in a gerontologically- and geriatrically-sophisticated social work force. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
