Founder's Day 2024

In 1945, our founders had a bold mission: to advance the aging research field and improve older adults' lives.

“The GSA's Emerging Scholars Travel Stipend has benefits that extend beyond just travel to GSA, as the name suggests. It can lead to long-term career advantages. Through the program, I was able to expand my professional network, receive valuable mentorship, and gain clarity on my career trajectory. I am delighted to report that I have secured a faculty position to land my career in aging. This achievement would not have been possible without the resources provided by the GSA's Emerging Scholars Travel Stipend.” —Yifan Lou, Postdoctoral Associate, Yale University
