American Public Health Association (APHA) features Fielding School students
The Fielding School is one of several institutions featured in an annual APHA publication to showcase National Public Health Week events.
The Fielding School's 2015 National Public Health Week was featured in the July 2015 edition of the "The Nation's Health," an American Public Health Association (APHA) publication.
In April 2015, Students of Color for Public Health (SCPH) organized a week of events at UCLA centered around the theme "Addressing the Roots of Health Inequity."
With a series of interactive activities, lectures and panels, students sought to educate and engage the UCLA campus and the broader community about public health disparities and solutions.
Events included:
Microaggressions, a type of unconscious discrimination, can have real effects on health and well being. Kenjus Watson, PhD Candidate, UCLA Ed & IS, helped attendees discuss how to understand, acknowledge and respond to microaggressions.
In the CHS courtyard at UCLA, public health students helped participants create natural personal care products like shampoos. Alexandra Scranton discussed research linking certain types of care products to adverse health effects.
FSPH students, staff and friends took part in a bike tour around campus, led by the UCLA Bike Shop, to educate the public about the bikeability of UCLA and Westwood Village.
