Robert N. Butler Columbia Aging Center

Bringing together the resources of a top-tier research university, the Columbia Aging Center convenes across a range of disciplines including the medical sciences, humanities, social sciences and professions like urban planning, architecture and journalism, to study and better understand the aging process and its societal implications. The Columbia Aging Center’s mission is to contribute to the knowledge base needed to optimize aging for individuals, as well as to bring about meaningful change in social and economic policy. The Columbia Aging Center views the work context as a major field for research and application, and the Age Smart Employer Award is a signature initiative. The Center is based at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health.
