Welcome to community Engagement
The Community Engagement portfolio consists of a diverse range of initiatives that work to increase health literacy in the community, which includes the Publications team, the University Engagement team, and several Workshop teams. Our team also hosts the Annual Strive Case Competition to promote awareness about global health challenges and to give students from various backgrounds the opportunity to use their unique perspectives to discuss and explore innovative solutions to improve global healthcare.
The overarching goal of the Community Engagement team is to increase health literacy in vulnerable populations, while empowering future health professionals to positively contribute to the public health sector.
