SCALING UP SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS’ Heading link
Posted: January 30th, 2012
On July 22-24, 2012, the UIC Maternal and Child Health Program will host the 5th annual UIC MCH Leadership Retreat: Leadership, Legacy, and Community: A Retreat to Advance MCH Scholarship and Practice. Our focus this year is on Leading in Challenging Times: Inspiration and Innovations. In developing a session on Innovations in Health, Wellbeing, and Healthy Living, I was introduced to the Coalition for Community Schools by a new colleague who works with the Evansville Vandeburgh School Corporation in southern Indiana. I was also introduced to the ‘Scaling Up School and Community Partnerships.’ I am already inspired and am looking forward to learning more about this type of work during a panel discussion at the July Retreat.
