Our scientists and educators are dedicated to the improvement of the quality of life in our aging society. The Center and School, in their mission statements, affirm their commitment to an older population that is healthy, active, and involved, in the life of the community and nation. We approach health and success from a multi-disciplinary perspective. On the contrary, the identification and understanding of problems will provide a foundation from which the good life can be compared. A good life is a personal determination.
Science can provide frameworks and examples.
Scientists can determine, relative to a temporal society, what good living means. On a personal note, quality in my life is directly correlated to my focus on health. I am driven by the lure of success, balanced between my personal and professional interests. I am Chinese. I do not measure my life in terms of a destination, but rather, as the sum of my experiences.
