In "World on a Plate" by Professor Tara Scully, students study food history and science, while examining food industry connections to social issues like immigration, labor standards, and public health. Students learn about local implications of food systems through service with food banks, food recovery programs, and farmer's markets. This course is taught by renowned chef and humanitarian, José Andrés in collaboration with the professor.

We wish everyone a meaningful Juneteenth this year.
Congratulations to Dr. Maranda Ward on this terrific segment on Good Morning Washington ABC Channel 7. Dr. Ward leveraged this opportunity to discuss health equity in the District as it relates to the celebration of freedom.
We wish everyone a meaningful Juneteenth this year. Don't miss this GW Today video-story featuring Nashman Center Faculty Affiliate Dr. Imani Cheers (SMPA) discussing Juneteenth and all it means to her.
We highly recommend this film by DC Documentarians Brandon (director) and lance (producer) Kramer, "The First Step."
"In a divided America, progressive activist and political commentator Van Jones controversially works across party lines on landmark criminal justice reform and a more humane response to the addiction crisis. Attempting to be a bridge builder in a time of extreme polarization takes Van and a coalition of unlikely allies deep into the inner workings of a divisive administration, internal debates within both parties, and the lives of frontline activists fighting for their communities."
"THE FIRST STEP is now widely available to view at home on: Apple TV+, Google Play, and Youtube Movies & TV, in addition to Amazon, where the film currently has a 100% Five-Star Rating."
The PPLC mission is to inspire undergraduate student leaders—particularly those from historically underrepresented and underserved communities—to pursue careers in public service.
The deadline to apply is Friday, June 30, 2023 at 5 p.m. ET. For additional information, including eligibility requirements, please visit the conference website.
Our model, which began as a health care initiative is being used to tackle the greatest challenges in education. Your organization can use the ECHO Model to expand educators' expertise and help students close achievement gaps.
To support education-focused projects and initiatives, ECHO now offers an Introduction session targeted towards ECHO for Education programs. This virtual session is the first step in deciding whether the ECHO Model can work for your local needs and resources.
There is no cost to implement our model, and we provide training and support.
