"Youth Voice in Public Health capitalizes on the strengths of youth engagement, diversity, collaboration, skill development, and long-term impact, aiming to create a more inclusive and effective approach to public health initiatives."
"I really enjoyed Introduction to Program Evaluation in PFRH. I enjoyed the small group setting and informal nature of the class, which allowed for good discussions and opportunities to ask questions. The instructor provided helpful feedback throughout the sessions and especially when we were sharing our in-class exercises."
"Critically Evaluating the Science for Policy and Practice offered practical applications and sample critiques, allowing us to understand how theoretical knowledge can be applied in the critical evaluation of different research. This enhanced our understanding and equipped us with skills relevant to the field."
