In November 2026, the Council on Social Work Education relaunched its Gero Ed Center, a national resource for gerontology and aging education in social work. The Center returns in partnership with the University of Central Florida School of Social Work, which joins as a key contributor and sponsor.
CSWE’s Gero Ed Center will provide teaching and learning resources for three groups: social work educators and students who will practice with aging populations, social work programs seeking resources in this area of specialized practice, and professionals in other disciplines engaged in aging-related teaching and learning.
