K-State Center on Aging

We had an inspiring visit from Dene Mosier, President and CEO of the Kansas Children's Discovery Center and our 2026 Alumni Fellow for the College of Health and Human Sciences.

A proud K-State two-time graduate ('97, '14 MS gerontology), Dene is a visionary leader whose groundbreaking Play Free initiative and distinction as an Aspen Fellow reflect her unwavering commitment to transforming lives.

What an incredible trip through Wisconsin! 🌟 We visited six incredible nursing homes as part of our Resident GPP Guidebook Pilot — a project dedicated to amplifying the voices of the people who matter most. We reconnected with an amazing alumna now leading St. John's on the Lake in Milwaukee, joined him for a thought-provoking aging symposium, and explored the cutting-edge Direct Supply Innovation Lab on the MSOE campus. Innovation, community, and compassion — all in one trip.

That is a wrap for the 2026 GSA Conference.
