Congratulations to our 2025-2026 Research Assistants on your graduation from UNL this May. Thank you for all you did for the Gerontology Department on the UNL campus. A special thank you to the late Terry and Mrs. Judy Haney for supporting your assistantships through the Terry Haney Chair of Gerontology.
Congratulations to our master’s and doctoral students.
Congratulations to Dr. Mollie George on successfully completing her doctoral program in gerontology.
Dr. George was supervised by Dr. Lindsay Wilkinson, Graduate Program Chair for the department.
Dr. George’s dissertation, titled Experiences of Senior Living Residents During the COVID-19 Pandemic, offers perspective on the positive and negative challenges of those residing in assisted and independent living communities. Her work highlights an understudied area of interest in relation to the experiences of older adults.
