Outstanding in the Field, Vol 42, Number 1, Spring 2014.
From Argentina to Zimbabwe, Human Ecology faculty, staff, and students participate in dozens of academic programs, research partnerships, and engaged learning projects on six continents. At the center is the Global Health Program, which challenges students to apply their course knowledge to address public health concerns in resource-poor regions around the globe. The program’s popularity sparked a new major in Global and Public Health Sciences, coming in Fall 2014. Through these and other projects, the college achieves a global impact by leading research, developing programs, and guiding students at home and abroad. Includes a letter from Fred Logevall on the importance of global education and why internationalization matters.
