The Academy for Gerontology in Higher Education (AGHE), a prominent membership group of the Gerontological Society of America (GSA), is dedicated to advancing gerontology education. Founded in 1974 and integrated into the GSA in 2018, AGHE serves educators and students engaged in teaching and studying gerontology or geriatrics across various educational institutions.

AGHE offers a robust array of resources and services designed to enhance academic programs in the field, including gerontology and geriatrics curricular standards, teaching briefs, and extensive program resources. Members can participate in organized networking events and educational programs, particularly during the GSA Annual Scientific Meeting.

Additionally, AGHE provides opportunities for professional engagement through volunteer roles and awards that recognize achievements across all career stages. Committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, AGHE fosters a collaborative community that empowers its members to contribute to the evolving landscape of gerontological education.
