On March 19, the Center for the Advanced Study of Aging Services (CASAS) at UC Berkeley hosted Aging Forward: A Career Symposium on Aging and Equity, as part of the Gerontological Society of
America (GSA)’s Careers in Aging Month activities. CASAS is the only academic research center in
the United States that specifically focuses on aging services. It aims to improve services to older
adults and their caregivers through a multifaceted approach, including research, education, and policy.
Collaboration and social justice are core tenets embedded in these approaches.
