About the ReportIn this issue of the MetLife Foundation-International Longevity Center Caregiving Brief, Cullen Hayashida, Ph.D.; Michael Faber, MA, LBSW; and Jan Abushakrah, Ph.D. discuss the Association for Gerontology
in Higher Education’s Community College Task Force, and their efforts to establish an active network of
community colleges around the issues of longevity and aging, including caregiving. This goal is consistent
with the mission of the ILC to help individuals, government, and business navigate the age boom in positive
and constructive ways, and to highlight older people’s productivity and contributions to society. The authors discuss the need for community colleges to respond to our aging society—to understand and to prepare for the challenges and needs of communities—and they strongly advocate for networking and sharing of information among community colleges to this end.
