Dear students,
As part of its Student Engagement Initiative, the Latino Center for Health has an outstanding opportunity to sponsor up to three graduate students in the Health Sciences to attend the 14th Annual Latino Health Forum presented by Sea Mar Community Health Centers on Wednesday, October 30th, 2019. This year’s theme is Resilience in the Latino Community: Uniting Our Voice to Improve Latino Wellbeing.
The Latino Center for Health provides leadership to promote the health and wellbeing of Latinxs. We do this by building capacity to support culturally responsive research and shaping the next generation of leaders equipped to respond to current and emerging health issues facing diverse Latinx communities in the state and region.
Specifically with this effort, we aim to offer graduate students in the Health Sciences the opportunity to join us at this year’s Latino Health Forum to participate in open dialogue on current topics affecting the health of Latinxs; to network with practitioners, researchers, and community activists; and to gain valuable resources and skills towards shaping health policy and greater health equity for Latinx communities in the Pacific Northwest region.
If you are interested in being sponsored to attend the forum, please fill out the attached short application and send it to latcntr@uw.edu by Monday, October 14th. The application includes an information sheet and a 250-word-or-less essay. We will announce the sponsorship recipients by Wednesday, October 23rd.
