During each day of National Public Health Week, we focus on a particular public health topic. Then, we identify ways each of us can make a difference on that topic. These areas are critical to our future success in creating the healthiest nation, and everyone can do their part to help.
Click on headings or images below to learn more about the presentations and events happening each day and instructions on how to join sessions via Zoom. We also invite you to watch these introductory videos produced by students describing each day's theme.
And if you're on campus, come see us in the main hallway of Shults Center -- there are activities, games, conversations, snacks, and prizes waiting!
