UIndy Center for Aging & Community

25 Years of Impact: The Future Starts Here

Thursday, October 1, 2026 | 9:00am - 4:00pm

University of Indianapolis | Health Pavilion

Twenty-five years ago, the University of Indianapolis Center for Aging & Community set out to change how we think about aging — and how we act on it.

Join us as we mark this milestone with a day of celebration and learning, featuring community leaders, organizational partners, alumni, faculty, students, and supporters who share our belief that every person deserves to age with dignity, purpose, and optimal health.

This anniversary is not just a celebration of how far we've come; it's a commitment to what comes next, as we introduce the Impact Fund. Your event sponsorship supports this fund, which covers student programs and community initiatives that are building a more age-friendly Indiana, today and for the next generation.

Our Mission

The University of Indianapolis Center for Aging & Community collaborates, educates, and conducts research to enhance the quality of life for all people as they age.

Our Vision

The University of Indianapolis Center for Aging & Community is a catalyst for change that leads to a world in which all people age with dignity and optimal health.
