Education
We foster career development, networking and collaborative research opportunities for faculty and trainees from multiple disciplines.
Creating student research opportunities
We hosted more than 120 students, faculty and staff who attended the first Applied Public Health Research Day in April 2023. They got the chance to learn and network as students and postdoctoral scholars presented public health research.
Hosting students for a health equity-focused internship
We hosted four undergraduate students interested in health equity. The students interned with us from January through March 2024 as part of the Quarter at Aggie Square’s Advancing Health Care Equity experience.
