UWM’s STAR program seeks to help fill that gap by preparing students for graduate training and careers in aging and public health. The UWM STAR program is a multi-year, cohort-based program that matches students with mentors to conduct research in aging and health disparities. It is based on successful programs developed by UWM’s Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) directed by Nigel Rothfels over the last 20 years. Karyn Frick will co-direct the Success Through Aging Research Program (STAR) program.
