by Britteny Howell |
AARP Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ has just reinstated a program to award scholarships to UAA students interested
in careers in aging. This semester, AARP Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ has awarded the first scholarship
to College of Health student Gloria Renken. Gloria is majoring in Health Sciences
and has taken two gerontology courses here at UAA with Dr. Britteny Howell because
of her career interest in working with veterans. As a non-traditional student with
a busy family and a part-time job, she says this scholarship makes a big difference
in her academic progress and provides a boost of confidence that she is accomplishing
something important and meaningful.
