October 16, 2024

Public and Land-grant universities are expanding their efforts to address complex factors that influence the health of individuals, families, and communities. These initiatives spearheaded through Cooperative Extension organizations, academic medical centers, and health science colleges, aim to combat pressing health issues. On October 23, 2024, at 3:00 PM ET, join Dr. Linda Alexander, Chief Academic Officer for ASPPH, and others for an engaging webinar that will discuss the vital role of Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) and human sciences in these efforts.

For over a century, FCS professionals have played a key role in enhancing public health through evidence-based interventions and community collaboration. As this field continues to evolve, new opportunities are arising for FCS professionals to highlight their contributions and build partnerships with other disciplines. Such collaboration is crucial to creating solutions that empower people to live long, healthy lives.
