The Gerontology Consortium of Michiana (Notre Dame, Indiana) has grown to include over 100 organizations and individuals whose focus is on the local senior community. The growth has enabled the consortium to partner with and become an institute of Holy Cross College: Michiana Gerontology Institute (MGI). This partnership with Holy Cross College combines the consortium’s grass roots approach and expertise and the college’s resources. This partnership accentuates the dual mission of the Brothers of Holy Cross by serving education and elderly care. The college also offers a new Gerontology minor. Although closely associated with the college, MGI is a solely independent organization.

On Tuesday, May 14, 2013 at 9:00 A.M. a ribbon cutting will take place at Holy Cross College. Attendance is open to all who may be interested: professionals in the field of gerontology; individuals and companies that provide services or housing for the elderly; individuals who are concerned about the well-being of their friends or relatives; those who are simply curious. For more information contact Pat Adams by phone (574-239-8364) or email (padams at hcc-nd-edu)
