Are you passionate about diversity? We need help disseminating our findings to a larger audiences, and potentially helping others create diverse learning experiences.
The Pathways Academy is an immersive experience for underrepresented high school students, in which they learn about majors and career opportunities in public health and the health professions. They also earn a college credit. The program just finished it's third cohort of students. We have pre/post data for al the students. I would like help writing up the findings in a pedagogy or public health journal. I'd also be interested in working on a 'best practices' paper as a sort of recommendation to other schools who are looking to duplicate our success.
Publication in a pedagogy or public health journal.
