The 2022 ASPPH Undergraduate Conference for Education in Public Health is Thursday, September 22, and brings together academic public health educators, professionals, and students involved or interested in undergraduate education in public health.
The virtual conference highlights innovative educational models and practices, pedagogies, and pathways to student success. The conference agenda consists of a full day of learning and networking with colleagues from across the country who are dedicated to improving undergraduate public health education.
"The ASPPH Undergraduate Conference provides a great opportunity for faculty and staff to connect with individuals from other programs who share our mission of educating the next generation of public health leaders," says Dr. Sarah Cprek, assistant professor and director of undergraduate studies at the University of Kentucky College of Public Health. "Of all the virtual conferences I have attended over the last few years, this was by far the most useful. Presenters provide practical guidance on ways to improve our courses and the student experience."
Expert faculty researchers and educators from the University of Kentucky College of Public Health (CPH) will be presenting at this conference on a variety of public health undergraduate education topics:
Writing Across the Curriculum: Practical Advice on Incorporating Writing Intensive Courses into an Undergraduate Public Health Program. CPH presenting authors are Sarah E. Cprek, MPH, PhD, and Angela Carman, DrPH; and authors are Anne E. Ray, PhD and Corrine Williams, ScD, MS.
