==========================<>============================== NC*AGING e-newsletter #20 a service of the UNC Institute on Aging Information Center July 1, 2002 ==========================<>============================== IOA STAFF ACTIVITIES Carol Hogue is stepping down from her leadership positions as Associate Director for Research and as Director of the Carolina Program in Healthcare and Aging Research (the Institutes' program for pre-doctoral and postdoctoral training). She is allegedly moving from partial to full retirement but will keep an office in the Institute and some involvement, including continuing consultation to the Director. Carol has been involved since the initial planning phases for the IOA and has done a wonderful job helping to get the Institute established. The training program, now into its second year, is a major step forward for the IOA. Mary Altpeter, Associate Director for Operations, and Bill Lamb, Associate Director for Public Service, attended a week-long workshop, "Introducing Public Policy in Aging into the Curriculum", held at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University. Bill teaches the aging policy course in the UNC Chapel Hill Certificate in Aging Program. Mary teaches the new undergraduate course in aging, "Introduction to Aging", (Sociology 065), which will be inaugurated this term. Also attending the workshop were NC colleagues Jeff Brooks of Fayetteville State University, Kshama Sawant of North Carolina State University and Diane Zablotsky of UNC-Charlotte. Victor Marshall gave an invited lecture, "Reinvest in Aging: Aging, Work and Productivity", to a conference in Hong Kong sponsored by the Elderly Commission and the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. <<<<>>>> AGING IN NC FORUM Check out the Aging in NC Forum for the latest job postings, news, and discussion: http://www.aging.unc.edu/news/board.html <<<<>>>> GOOD NEWS ABOUT NC COLLEAGUES Shirley S.
