On Friday, February 26, from 2 to 3:30 p.m., Tompkins-McCaw Library will host a satellite broadcast of Dr. Robert Fullilove's keynote lecture of the 31st annual Minority Health Conference at North Carolina, Chapel Hill. In a lecture entitled "Community Organizing & Community Building: Public Health Watchwords for the 21st Century," Dr. Fullilove will explore the opportunities available through a return to the roots of old-fashioned community organizing. Through community organizing, we can construct interventions out of those efforts to develop solid, cohesive groups who can work effectively to deal with community issues. Organizing for collective efficacy should be a watchword for our efforts to eliminate health disparities.
The lecture will be shown in room 2-010 of Tompkins-McCaw Library. Find more information and register online.
