In 2008, Student Ambassadors Nancy Murrish and Jennifer Silmaro began working to put together an informative presentation about Gerontology and how the study of aging can be incorporated into a variety of educational interests and career goals. In 2009, Jennifer and a new Ambassador, Kate Madaus, took the presentation "on the road," presenting to various groups on the Sacramento State campus, at community colleges, etc. In 2011 Diane Walsh updated the presentation, and spoke to classes and groups on and off campus throughout the Spring semester.
