“Students engaged meaningfully with the idea that health is influenced by more than just individual choices—it’s also shaped by the environments we live in. Using real-life examples from their neighborhoods, they demonstrated an ability to think critically about issues such as food access, safe housing, mental health support, and the importance of strong social connections. The use of small group discussions allowed students to share personal observations and broaden their understanding through peer experiences.”
"We had great conversations and I learned a lot about them and I learned a lot about what's meaningful to them in their community. And I think that in itself makes it worth it right there."
We’d love to hear from you!
