Mount Saint Mary College's Division of Social Sciences offers
two academic centers for excellence:
The Center on Aging and
Policy, established in 2006 by Lawrence Force and Jeffrey
Kahana, promotes an interdisciplinary perspective dedicated to
excellence in research and scholarship in the field of gerontology.
The center is located in Aquinas Hall.
The
Center for Adolescent Research is a clearinghouse for research
initiatives that include the psychological, social, cultural,
educational, and health-related issues endemic to contemporary
adolescents and young adults. Established in August 2009 by center
faculty Paul Schwartz, Frances Spielhagen, Sarah Uzelac, and Amanda
Maynard, the center is located on the 3rd floor of the
Villa.
