\"Eight<\/p>\n

Members of the AD&D Lab have long been committed to meaningful community engagement, using research as a tool to address the real-world needs of aging populations. Through active participation in community outreach events\u2014such as at the “Science Caf\u00e9” event hosted by the UCF Disability, Aging, and Technology Faculty Cluster, the Mark Street Senior Recreation Complex exercise classes, and the East Orange Community Center\u2014lab members work to bridge the gap between science and community, fostering connections that inform both their research and the well-being of those they serve. We hope to see you at our next community event! <\/span><\/p>\n
