The Elder Rehab program is a student-administered Alzheimer rehabilitation research program that was conceived of and directed by clinical psychologist Sharon Arkin. The program took place between 1996 and 2001 at the University of Arizona, Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences. Funded by the National Institute on Aging, the program measured the effects of a multi-modality intervention program on the language performance, rate of decline, physical fitness, and mood of persons with early to moderate stage Alzheimer s disease.

As always, we are such fans of Campus Compact (both national and state chapters). Without your assistance, we could not have achieved many of the milestones we have enjoyed over the past two years. Among many other developments, these milestones include hiring a full-time Service-Learning Coordinator; forming a University-wide advisory committee that includes representatives from each school and from the community; and creating a course development series for faculty and their community partners.
