The Aging Exchange
About the Aging Exchange
The Aging Exchange was established in 2004 as an event dedicated to promoting aging at UNC Chapel Hill. We award honors to outstanding campus leaders and students, listen to a lecture from a distinguished scholar, feature the work of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, and share information about aging activities on campus. The event also includes an evening reception.
