In the midst of the summer of 2020, during COVID-19 shutdowns and the height of the mass protest movement in response to the murder of George Floyd, a handful of Pre-Health Programs students preparing for medical school were motivated to give back. The first step was organizing a student group that would serve as a platform for education on the social determinants of health—a traditionally overlooked area of health education.

The College of Liberal and Professional Studies (LPS) is pleased to congratulate the students, faculty, and staff who contributed to a standout showing at the 2022 University Professional and Continuing Education Association (UPCEA) Mid-Atlantic awards.
