Tracey Gendron, Ph.D., chair and professor of Gerontology and executive director of the Virginia Center on Aging, recently was quoted in a Washington Post article about working later in life.

“Work can be a lifesaver,” says Tracey Gendron, chair of the gerontology department at Virginia Commonwealth University and author of the book “Ageism Unmasked: Exploring Age Bias and How to End It.” “Staying engaged with a professional network keeps us healthy and gives us an extra reason to get up in the morning.”
