Recipients of the Summer 2014 Awards
Paula Quatromoni
EP758
Nutritional Epidemiology
“Paula is a fantastic instructor. She knows the content so well as an experienced nutritionist and a trained epidemiologist. She selected excellent readings that enriched my understanding of both this class and EPI methods in general. This class sparked my interest in the intersection between diet and environmental toxicants and encouraged me to examine this relationship further in my own research. I was so sad to see this class end.

Program Design for Global Health
“YOU LEARN SO MUCH. It is extremely strong in terms of skill-building, content-learning, and overall experiential learning. I have never learned so much in such a short period of time. A huge strength of the course are the amazing professors, Wolffy and Cristin are what make the course absolutely ROCK.”

Sexual Violence: Public Health Perspectives in Intervention and Prevention
“I appreciated the opportunity to practice effective communication skills with provocative material. The course required students to elevate their thinking and learn to dialogue despite the charged nature of the topic. This isn’t a skill we get to practice much. I valued the open discussion format. The assignments were thoughtful and interesting to do.
