Her national and regional reputation in the field of aging led to her appointment to the Nevada State Commission on Aging, and she has served in leadership roles in prominent professional gerontological organizations, including the Academy for Gerontology in Higher Education (AGHE), the Gerontological Society of America (GSA), and the American Psychological Association’s Division of Adult Development and Aging. She continues to develop innovative approaches to teaching gerontology and, most importantly, to recruiting students into the discipline. As a member of the Nevada Geriatric Education Center from its inception, she developed innovative programs to support faculty across all disciplines who were already teaching courses in gerontology, as well as faculty who were interested in adding gerontology topics to their courses. Sugar chaired the nascent gerontology program at Colorado State University and served as associate director of the Borun Center for Gerontological Research at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and as director of the Graham and Jean Sanford Center for Aging at the University of Nevada, Reno. A nationally recognized teacher and scholar in the field of aging, she has been teaching introductory aging courses for more than two decades. Sugar, PhD, received her doctoral degree in life-span developmental psychology from York University in Toronto.
