Summer Speaker Series for Students

The goal of the second-annual Summer Speaker Series for Students is to take a deep dive into policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) change strategies that promote healthy eating among children and families, specifically during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, by exploring various local, state, federal, and tribal nutrition programs. Participants will also have the opportunity to learn more about HER NOPREN collaborative efforts. Speakers will represent different sectors in the topical space and present on the fundamentals of the topic, along with relevant professional opportunities in research, policy, and practice. Participation in the series is open to undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students. This series is a collaborative effort of Healthy Eating Research, a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Nutrition and Obesity Policy Research and Evaluation Network (NOPREN).

The series will consist of 7 webinar presentations on a variety of topics related to PSE strategies to promote healthy eating. The presentations will be held on Wednesdays from 4pm to 5pm EST every week from June 16th, 2021 to July 28th, 2021. Calendar invitations will be sent from NOPREN ([email protected]) to all confirmed students.
