Collaborative Community Partnerships

The MPH program values and actively works to ensure strong mutually beneficial relationships with community members, community-based organizations and emerging and existing public health professionals through a wide array of collaborative research and service initiatives including local, regional, and global projects.

• Co-creating with our valued community colleagues the skills necessary to critically analyze information,
• Fostering respect, and
• Advocating for equity within and across populations, locally, nationally and internationally.

As faculty, staff and students we seek to support self-determination and dignity, which is central to community inclusion. Community inclusion is further strengthened by collaborating in the applied practice, volunteer and research experiences of students, using relevant technologies and magnifying community priorities and supporting community-member participation.
