During the first full week of April each year, the American Public Health Association (APHA) brings together communities across the United States to observe National Public Health Week (NPHW) as a time to recognize the contributions of public health and highlight issues that are important to improving our nation’s health. For over 25 years, APHA has served as the organizer of NPHW. Every year, the Association develops a national campaign to educate the public, policymakers and practitioners about issues related to each year’s theme. APHA creates new NPHW materials each year that can be used during and after NPHW to raise awareness about public health and prevention. This year, National Public Health Week 2022 was observed from Monday, April 4 through Sunday, April 10th. To observe National Public Health Week and celebrate the great work that our students are all doing in Public Health, the MPH@Baylor Program hosted the First Annual National Public Health Week Poster Competition! Students were invited to register to participate and create a poster highlighting the work that they are doing either at their job, volunteering, or at their Graduate Project Internship site. The Poster Competition was held on Monday, April 10th at 7:00 pm in the MPH@Baylor Student Lounge and the winner of the poster competition was Julia Lorence! Julia presented on her poster titled “Healing through Dance: Empowering Survivors of Human Trafficking”, which detailed her with the Phoenix Dream Center. As the winner, Julia received a free BU Public Health t-shirt and a coffee chat mentoring sessions with the MPH@Baylor Program Director, Dr. Jasmine Opusunju. Congratulations to Julia and we look forward to seeing the great submissions next year!
