Simone (Director) Gerontology is the study of the elderly and of the aging process. Majors from any field may enhance their credentials and their ability to work with the elderly—a fast-growing population—through the Gerontology Certificate Program. Students examine influences on the roles and quality of life of the elderly as well as physical and psychological aspects of aging. Courses investigate perceptions about the elderly in various societies and how the experiences of older people differ according to culture, ethnicity, class, and gender. Students complete a practicum that gives them experience working with the elderly. Completion of the Gerontology Certificate Program is noted on the student’s transcript, and students receive a certificate acknowledging their attainment. In addition to the University Core Curriculum and College requirements for the Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts, students must complete the following:

Paul Sticht Center on Aging which is located on the Reynolda Campus of Wake Forest University in 201-205 Carswell Hall. Its mission is to generate interest in aging among faculty members and students. Dr. Charles F. Longino, Jr., who is the associate director for Reynolda Campus programs of the Sticht Center, is the director of the RGP. The Program's first major project was a three-year faculty development program funded by local foundations, called the Spire of Excellence in Gerontology. By co-sponsoring a conference with the Appalachian Geriatric Education Center in 1992, and through a Sticht Center Faculty Retreat, the RGP has mobilized faculty members from 15 departments and 8 administrative programs who have participated in its early efforts. Programmatic efforts have concentrated on course development. The "Interdisciplinary Seminar on Aging" was offered for the first time in the Spring of 1993; "Images of Aging in the Humanities" was offered in the fall of 1993. Departmental course spin-offs from the first interdisciplinary course, are: Biology of Aging, Physiology of Aging (Health and Sport Sciences), Economics of Aging, and Family Relationships and Aging (Sociology). The Reynolda Gerontology Program has provided summer study awards for several professors in preparation for offering a new course in aging, or enriching the aging content of an existing course: History Professor Ed Hendricks studied at the Institute on Oral History at Baylor University; Economics Professor Robert Whaples attended the NIA Summer Research Institute; Sociology Professor John Earle studied at the University of Florida, and Health and Sport Sciences Professor Paul Ribisl attended Stanford University.

    Extractions: S OCIOLOGY OF D EATH AND D YING It has been claimed that one can never look directly at the sun nor at one's own death. And yet, throughout the history of mankind, both have been the enduring themes of myth and religion, science and magic, curiosity and fear. From our late twentieth century vantage point we find that as the sun is understood as being the source of life in the natural order, so death is becoming recognized as the central dynamism underlying the life, vitality, and structure of the social order. Death is the muse of our religions, philosophies, political ideologies, arts and medical technologies. It sells newspapers and insurance policies, invigorates the plots of our television programs, andjudging from our dependency on fossil fuels (84.5% of all U.S. energy consumption in 1995)even powers our industries. It is the barometer by which we measure the adequacy of social life, such as when we compare cross-cultural death and life expectancy rates to gauge social progress, compare national homicide rates to infer the stability of social structures, or compare death rates of different social groups to ascertain social inequalities . In fact, perhaps the very first evidence of

    Extractions: S OCIAL G ERONTOLOGY THE A GING R EVOLUTION It is the meaning that men attribute to their life, it is their entire system of values that define the meaning and value of old age. The reverse applies: by the way in which a society behaves toward its old people it uncovers the naked, and often carefully hidden, truth about its real principles and aims. Simone de Beauvoir, The Coming of Age If we were able to bring someone from Shakespeare's time and deposit them onto a beach in contemporary Orlando, perhaps what would be the most striking to this individual would not be the 747 overhead but rather the large number of older individuals. Click here to see: Generations now alive are among the first in history to be raised with the expectation of old age, forerunners of a longevity revolution that will be felt for centuries to come. Some twenty percentage of all humans who have ever lived past the age of 65 are now alive. So profound is this demographic revolution that every aspect of social life and society is affected. A late 1980s Census Bureau study noted that "rapidly expanding numbers of older people represents a social phenomenon without historical precedent...[that] has various economic implications for individuals, families, public policy-makers." Those now old420 million world-wide as of 2001are literally pioneers of a new stage of the lifespan and the life course they're trailblazing will determinein partour own passages through time.
