In April 2004, the Erickson School of Aging Studies was established with support from John Erickson, who gave a $5 million commitment to the school. The goal of the Erickson School is to “become the preeminent resource for education, research, and policy on services for the mid-life and older population.” Erickson is a hub for research activities on long-term care quality, consumer direction, and other topics exploring the policy and sociocultural dimensions of aging in our country. Through the Erickson School and the doctoral program in Gerontology (housed jointly at UMBC and the University of Maryland Graduate School, Baltimore), UMBC students and faculty have been able to contribute and bring greater visibility to aging-related issues of both local and national importance.
