Whitney Shepard

As a tenured faculty member, I am consistently engaged in scholarship, instruction, and outreach focused on family caregiving and aging programs. In service to the Land-grant university, I am committed to the tri-partite mission and the state of Oklahoma. My scholarship is funded, community-engaged, and translational in ways that serve the people of Oklahoma.

Research Interests:

Family Gerontology; the interface between aging families and communities.
Family Caregiving programs and services.
Efficacy of state, federal and tribal programs that facilitate community living for elders.
