The CSWE Gero-Ed Center aims to recruit undergraduates to gerontological (gero) social work field placements, MSW level specializations, and careers by involving students in direct interaction with older adults through experiential learning activities. The Cycle 2 BEL Program, 2010-2012, funds 10 BSW programs to embed and sustain experiential learning activities with older adults into one or more required generalist courses.
