The Age-Inclusive Guide
This guide introduces age-inclusive thinking and practices in higher education. Relevant to core areas of the university, it explores aging, ageism, and practical ways to create more inclusive learning, working, and engagement environments for people of all ages.
Whether you interact with students, faculty, staff, alumni, retirees, or community members through teaching, research, operations, communications, or other campus activities, this guide provides a practical starting point for reflection, discussion, and ongoing learning.
