I have joined Hunter College as Executive Director of the Brookdale Center
on Aging and Professor of Urban Public Health in the Schools of Health
Professions.

Brookdale is New York City's premier academic gerontology center. It is
part of Hunter College, which the Princeton Review calls the "jewel in the
crown" of the City University of New York (CUNY). Over the next several
years, we will be undertaking a major effort to strengthen and expand the
center's mission of education, applied research, program innovation, policy
and community service--particularly as these activities relate to urban
aging. I look forward to the challenges ahead, and to leading Brookdale in
new and important directions.
