HER NOPREN Summer Speaker Series for Students 2026
The goal of the seventh annual Summer Speaker Series for Students is to explore various public health nutrition topics related to food and nutrition security through research, policy, and practice. Each week will feature presentations from speakers across different public health sectors on the fundamentals of the topic and give participants opportunities to network with experts in the field. Students of all levels are encouraged to attend.
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 5 webinar presentations spanning timely and fundamental topics from food and nutrition security, federal, state, and local policy, strategies to support young children’s health, and more!
