Dana Graefe graduated from the University of Connecticut with a B.A. in Psychology and a minor in Business Fundamentals in May 2015. She’s now pursing the Master’s in Gerontology with a concentration in Aging and Business.
During her four years at UConn, three were spent working part-time at the physical therapy clinic on campus, where one of her tasks was helping with the Parkinson’s exercise group that met weekly. Her interaction with the older adults in that class, and classes at UConn led her to pursue the Master’s in Gerontology.
“With my Master’s, my goal is to work for a company, organization, or at a continuing care community on the administrative side. I have interests in servicing older adults in understanding the financial side of aging, providing necessary knowledge of the aging population to the company I work for, and in developing and implementing new policies for older adults. Overall I hope to help older adults age successfully.”
