Global Health Promotion in Guatemala: Health Services Delivery in Resource-poor Settings was a two week study abroad program this summer.  Students, led by Dr. Mabel Ezeonwu, experienced first-hand the difficulties of delivering care with few resources available. (Photo Credit: Briana Hermes)

This summer our BNURS 409: Partnerships in Community Health students collaborated with community partner Latino Education and Training Institute to plan and promote the LETI Expo.  The Expo is a free event taking place on 8/13 on the Edmonds Community College campus.

School of Nursing & Health Studies Senior Lecturer, Dr. Grace Lasker, is being recognised for her contribution to green chemistry.  Dr. Lasker, collaborating with the UW's Department of Environmental & Occupational Health Science, Yale's Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering, and the UW's Professional & Continuing Education office, has designed an online program in chemical stewardship.  Dr. Lasker has not only created the program but is also teaching courses within the one year certificate program.
