In October the State Society on Aging of New York held its annual conference at the Desmond Hotel in Albany. The conference program included over 75 invited and submitted papers, presented as posters, roundtables, workshops, and symposia. This year 13 Ithaca faculty members and students attended the SSA conference. As president of the SSA of New York, John Krout convened the opening session and the awards luncheon. The SSA encourages student participation at the annual conference as a way of introducing the organization and promoting student involvement and participation in a professional meeting.
Students also have the opportunity to meet professors and peers from across the state.
