Gerontology program boasts three national award winners

Abstract

With the field of gerontology on the cusp of catering to the burgeoning "boomer" population, three Virginia Tech students are prepared for the challenge as they were recently selected for the 2005-2006 national AARP Scholars Program. Libbey Bowen, Nancy Brossoie, and Erica Husser were chosen by a panel of educators and AARP staff to each receive a $10,000 scholarship. In addition, they will participate in a leadership seminar and recognition event at AARP in Washington, D.C., in March 2006.
