Age-friendly policy change within a College of Nursing is supported by the “Excellence Across the Lifespan Champions” program, created in partnership with the National Center to Reframe Aging. The initiative builds a cohort of faculty and staff champions using a professional development framework, offering education, mentorship, and role-aligned age-inclusivity mini-projects. Peer-mentored group publications, collaborative meetings, and a synchronous online format promote collaboration. Recruitment uses a flyer and interest survey; six faculty and six staff participate. Four training sessions are followed by a three-month implementation period with individualized feedback and mentorship, addressing ageist attitudes and hidden bias.
