Interdisciplinary Center on Aging

Who We Are

Established in 2009, the California State University, Chico (CSU, Chico) Interdisciplinary Center on Aging (ICOA) is conceptualized to fulfill the ever-growing aging needs of Northern California. Like climate change, the “graying” of America is another fundamental change in our world. With the assets and unique characteristics of CSU, Chico and its service region, the ICOA strives towards developing and demonstrating the best practices for meeting the challenges and maximizing the opportunities of an aging society.

ICOA presents Coffee Connection and Film Series

Every second Wednesday of the month ICOA will host trainings and every fourth Wednesday of the month ICOA will host a film series on campus. To view the flyer click here.

Archived ICOA Coffee Connections can be viewed here. In our continuing effort to bring more on-campus events to our online students and community members, we are beginning to record ICOA presentations and workshops and to put them online. The online application allows students, faculty & staff and community members to access these materials anytime, to review the presentation multiple times, and to print any handouts.
