This unique experience brings 40 to 50 students to Washington, DC to attend a three-day leadership symposium which serves to guide them in their own implementation of a micro-grant funded, community-based health education project. Students will: 

 

• Obtain tools to practice the knowledge and skills learned at the symposium through a faculty-mentored project conducted at their community or institution.
  
  
• Gain a deeper understanding of the complexities and varying perspectives of public health. They will learn methods to effect change in their own community in the areas of: health
  policy, health literacy, project planning, and health care finance and delivery.
