Cornell University

Cornell’s approach, based on a long tradition of interdisciplinary study, is to offer a variety of opportunities across programs/campuses to expose students to courses, research and experiential learning to help prepare them for the broader seniors housing and care field. Some programs that have produced graduates going into the field are noted below. We are fortunate to have a number of alumni who have mentored and hired graduates including: a former Brookdale co-president, SVP at Erikson, CEO of Solera, CEO of Ridgeline Management, President & CEO at Christian Living Communities, SVP-Development, CIRC Development, a Transforming Age Affiliate, , CEO Mather, co-founder, Nurse Next Door, CEO of Drive, retired CEO of Verve (Canada), Co-Head CBRE National Senior Housing, Former Chairman, Welltower REIT, Managing Director, CS Capital Advisors and partner SLIB-investment bankers in senior living and Chair of Perkins Eastman Architects. CIHF and Psychology/Human Development sponsor courses on senior living and related areas and credits for the CIHF minor count towards degree or minors in Gerontology, or the /Healthy Futures minor (Hospitality, Health and Design)—which can be combined.
