Healthy Campus 2020 and Partnership for a Healthier America
|
Posted By: Hija Chang on February 21, 2017 LifeCycle Program Announced On February 9, former First Lady Michelle Obama's organization "Partnership for a Healthier America" selected Oakwood University as the site for its first-ever convening of HBCUs on the topic of campus health. Partners from HBCU institutions like Tuskegee, Alabama A&M, Talledega, Tougaloo, North Alabama University, and various partners had the opportunity to study and give feedback to our HC2020 initiative. Mr. Larry Soler, CEO, spoke to our team and to our students at Chapel, along with a special presentation by Dr. Tené Lewis, Clinical Psychologist from Emory University. An expert on health disparities and women's health issues, Dr. Lewis is pictured here speaking at Chapel on the topic, "The Health of Our People." The entire day was planned by Dr. Prudence Pollard and Dr. Shirna Gullo and the team in Research and Faculty Development. We ended the day with a dedication and ribbon-cutting of our new HC2020 LifeCycle Program. If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
