About the Center
History & Mission
The Center for Aging and Diversity is part of the UNC Institute on Aging. Its mission is to address, through research and training, health disparities in later life, provide a forum in which to discuss and examine ethnic, racial and cultural variation in life course processes and to disseminate research findings to the academic and lay community on the health of older diverse populations.
The Center was formerly known as the Center on Minority Aging, which was led by Dr. Elizabeth Mutran from 1999-2003. Dr. Peggye Dilworth-Anderson became the Director in July 2003, and the Center was renamed the Center for Aging and Diversity in August 2003.
