Enhance your degree with a Minor in Health Studies!

Congratulations to Associate Professor Jody Early!  Early was awarded the 2017 Distinguished Teaching Award for Innovation with Technology. Early was nominated by fellow faculty and colleagues. 

Assistant Professors Nora Kenworthy and Lauren Berliner's research findings were featured in an article in The Herald on Thursday, March 16.  Their study, published last month in Social Science & Medicine, looked at the success of crowdfunding for medical bills and revealed surprising results.

 Collaboration across disciplines brings out the best in our students and faculty!  In February, Sara Cole (senior, School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences) was awarded a Founders Fellows Research Scholarship.  While Sara is an IAS student, her mentor is our School's Assistant Professor Jody Early.  Sara's project is titled "Sex Education 2.0: A Content Analysis of Online Teen Sexual Health Forums." 

Students from the University of Washington Bothell collaborated with health professions students from Al Quds University in Hebron (West Bank) to dialogue about concepts and issues shaping women's (trans and cis)  global health and human rights.  Students exchanged "photo stories" to share results of their Photovoice findings.
