Plan Your Session

I had not considered how powerful integrating the arts and humanities into my public health teaching could be on student learning, experiences, and outcomes…. I was also seeking new ways to feel inspired in my teaching, while at the same time exploring new strategies to encourage connection, empowerment, and curiosity in learning.”

Jeanne Moseley, Associate Professor of Practice, Department of Public and Ecosystem Health, College of Veterinary Medicine
