WELCOME FROM THE DEAN

Welcome! Congratulations once again on your admission to the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology!

I hope this student handbook will answer many of the questions that arise as you begin your journey, and will help you to become more familiar with the amazing faculty, students and surroundings here.

Aging truly is the most universal of human experiences, and we are the very tip of the spear of the aging revolution here at the USC Leonard Davis School. As a small school within a large research university, we ensure that our students receive rigorous, highly personalized educational experiences studying with some of the world’s leading experts in �elds such as biology, neuroscience, psychology, sociology and public policy.

Gerontology—the study of aging across the lifespan—is an exciting �eld that contains a wide range of opportunities for those who study it. We are proud to be the world’s oldest and largest school of gerontology, and hold ourselves to a lofty mission: to enhance healthy aging through research, service and education.

I encourage you to make the most of your experience here, both in and out of the classroom or laboratory. A great place to start would be to start making connections: with your fellow students, with our sta�, with our faculty. I personally look forward to meeting each and every one of you in the coming semester, and to seeing the fantastic things that you will accomplish here, and beyond.

Sincerely,

Pinchas Cohen, M.D.Dean, USC Leonard Davis School of GerontologyExecutive Director, Andrus Gerontology Center
