Great to hear this morning Senator Klobuchar’s message of the importance of service at this year’s Nat’l Service-Learning Conference on the Twin Cities campus.
I'm proud of my @PublicHealthUMN students who have published OpEds! I am re-upping this thread because I am inspired by these students, who are brave, thoughtful, smart, and changing our world. (h/t @TheOpEdProject and cc @AndyFurco@UMNews@JoanGabel#mnleg)
Every time I teach @PubH6735, I am inspired to see students gain skills and confidence in raising their voices to address public health policy problems. 1/n
