Meet our Partners!
AgeAlive
AgeAlive is a recently established program within Michigan State University's College of Osteopathic Medicine. We seek to leverage and expand MSU's assets related to aging, including research, education, training, service and outreach spanning all disciplines across all MSU units that are addressing major aging issues. AgeAlive will establish, coordinate, and showcase a cohesive aging network that benefits all affiliates including students and community engaged partners, promotes holistic well-being throughout the lifespan, and is widely known and respected.

Our objectives include:
- Join all other Big10 and the majority of AAU Universities by establishing a cohesive, respected initiative focused on major aging issues through research, education, training, service and outreach.
- Establish a strong network of Affiliates that cross all status and sector boundaries to promote maximum inclusivity, diversity, and interdisciplinary/intergenerational aging-related research, service and educational opportunities.
- Enhance faculty and partner portfolios through identifying and affiliating with a clearly defined aging entity with access to a network of leaders, scholars, potential collaborators in all fields, and community members.
- Engage in active university-community partnerships to create environments that recognize and support a rich quality of life throughout the lifespan.
- Promote a holistic view of health, well-being, and quality of life that recognizes and supports the value of meaning, purpose, and the arts and humanities.

Social Science Scholars Program
The Social Science Scholars Program provides a high investment model of education to the College of Social Science’s most able and ambitious students. This genuinely unique initiative is designed for students who are deeply interested in current issues, have a thirst for knowledge, embrace difference, and are concerned for and helpful to others. Our Scholars study in a small cohort, work closely with the program’s faculty and staff, carry out exceptional research, receive considerable assistance in finding internships and applying for jobs, graduate schools and competitive scholarships, and engage in meaningful civic activities. Members of the Scholars Program graduate with the skills, education, professional experience, and maturity that set them apart from the overwhelming majority of their peers.
