Relevance and Relationships: The Role of Family and Consumer Sciences in Improving the Nation’s Heath
October 23, 2024 | 3:00-4:30pm ET

Join us on October 23rd for an engaging webinar where four panelists share their perspectives on the role of FCS and the human sciences in improving the nation's health.

Public and land-grant universities across the nation are rapidly growing their portfolio of work designed to address the complex array of factors that are threatening the health of individuals, families, and communities. For more than a century, Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS), and more broadly, the human sciences in general, have played a central role in this work. This dynamic landscape is presenting new opportunities for FCS and human science professionals to communicate the unique contributions they have historically made and will continue to make toward improving the nation’s health.

Panelists:

• Erik Porfeli, Chair of the Board on Health and Human Sciences and Chair, Department of Human Sciences, The Ohio State University
• Allison Myers, Associate Dean for Extension and Outreach, Oregon State University
• Jennifer Bridge, President of the National Extension Association of Family and Consumer Sciences, University of Kentucky
• Linda Alexander, Chief Academic Officer, Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health

Kelly Dalton, Executive Director of the APLU Board on Health and Human Sciences and Roger Rennekamp, Extension Health Director, will host the webinar.
