Cornell is not just one of the best institutions for higher learning in the United States, but also the best place to work for people over the age of 50, according to the American Association of Retired Persons.
The AARP, which represents the interests of many Cornell staff and faculty age 50 and over, has named Cornell on its “Best Employers List” for four consecutive years, but its announcement at the end of September that Cornell topped the list was a first for the University.
Over 40 percent of Cornell faculty and staff are over the age of 50.
The Cornell Program for Healthy Living was one of the reasons Cornell was lauded, according to the University.
