The Alliance for Aging represents a wide range of connections and collaborations across William James College faculty and numerous local and regional institutions and centers.
Training The Next Generation of Geropsychologists
The Geropsychology Concentration at William James College is a nationally recognized doctoral-level training program integrating rigorous scholarship with extensive clinical experience.
Led by Dr. Erlene Rosowsky, William James College alumni are emerging as leaders, bringing essential services to aging adults in Veterans Administration hospitals across the country as well as in local and national hospital systems and clinics.
The Heart of our Work: Geropsychology Doctoral Students and the Gero Volunteer Corps (GVC)
The GVC is a student group committed to fostering cross-generational dialogue by hosting spirited events where students actively engage with older adults.
Pragmatic Research at The Alliance for Aging
Our research aims to address the critical needs of aging adults. Current research projects include technology-based treatments for home-bound older adults; coping with late-life grief and loss; the role of personality in optimal aging; the application of positive psychology to promote behavior change; and person-centered dementia evaluation.
