Earlier this year, three Spartans were selected as honorees by the Southern Gerontological Society (SGS) for the Gerontologist Rooted In The South (GRITS) award.
Dr. Rebecca Adams, Dr. Janice Wassel, and Dr. Richard Tucker ’70 M.A. were selected.
The award seeks to maintain and stimulate interest in the history of SGS and perpetuate the legacy of past and present members. Members are recognized for their achievements in the field of gerontology, their contributions to enhancing the lives of elders in the SGS region, and their service as role models for future generations interested in the advancement of knowledge and practice in the field of aging.
