What People Are Saying About Old School:
Really great stuff on there that can be of so much help to us in our age discrimination cases.
Joyce Collier,
attorney and member of the National Employment Lawyers Association
Old School exposes ageism’s toxic effects, and impresses with the magnitude of those dynamic individuals and organizations who fuel the anti-ageism movement. Everything you need to shape your own role in eradicating this ‘last acceptable prejudice’ is here. Get informed, get inspired, get moving!
Wendl Kornfeld, Member NYC Gray Panthers, RadicalAgeMovement
Old School is a game changer. It allows those of us working to change the cuture of aging to connect, learn from each other, and build on each other’s efforts.
Marlene Krasovitsky, Director, EveryAGE Counts campaign, Australia
I love the new site and I know it will be a great resource for all of us and a central part of the great movement we need to deal with the longevity revolution and the joy of life until we’re dead.
D Kaganova, Visual Artist
Old School is fantastic! Kudos on pulling together a terrific resource. I will continue to utilize it and share it with colleagues and friends.
Kirsten Jacobs, Director, Dementia and Wellness Education, LeadingAge
It’s a fantastic resource for dismantling ageism and encouraging discussions about growing old!
Cathy Bollinger, Managing Director, Embracing Aging
It would have been so useful to have access to a clearinghouse like Old School when I was an undergrad studying gerontology. I am thrilled it exists now!

I’ve really appreciated the resources compiled in Old School for my students who are studying aging. They find it very helpful and it’s great having these resources in one place.

I’m madly building my syllabi and collecting resources and I have to say, the curriculum support on your site — now that I’ve had some real time to sit with it — is FANTASTIC. Big props to you and your team.

I’m delighted to be included in the site and delighted about the project in general. I’m incorporating it into my current course on ageism and ableism.

It is a great round up of resources!
Melanie Sternberg,

I worked for the man who invented the term “ageism” (the late Robert Butler) and I know he would be proud of what the Old School resource center will achieve. It will take a long time to dismantle ageism because the roots are deep in all of us. But the battle has already begun.
Harry R. Moody, Ph.D. Retired VP for Academic Affairs, AARP
Old School is an incredible resource. I’m thrilled to be able to point people to it, and am sure this will quickly become the go-to resource that it needs to be.
Marci Alboher, Vice President, Encore.org
I have signed up to Old School and really look forward to drawing on it for the Global Campaign to Combat Ageism.
