Eileen Crimmins, Schaeffer Center Senior Fellow and AARP Chair of Gerontology at the Davis School of Gerontology was recently awarded the Betty and James E. Birren Senior Scholar award from the California Council on Gerontology and Geriatrics (CCGG). The Betty and James E.

It recognizes outstanding achievements of individuals who have spent the majority of their careers (maybe a lifetime career or a career in the middle-to-late stages) working in and contributing to the fields of gerontology and/or geriatrics in California, and promoting the advancement of gerontology and/or geriatrics as fields of study in California.
