Public Health Sciences Students, Faculty Participate in Charlotte March for Science

On Saturday, April 22, 2017, faculty and graduate students from the Department of Public Health Sciences joined scientists and science advocates from numerous disciplines in Charlotte’s March for Science. The Earth Day event, which drew over 1,000 participants, was part of the first ever global March for Science, which includes events in cities around the globe to celebrate science, the role science plays in our lives and the importance of scientific integrity.

The American Public Health Association and the Association of Schools and Programs in Public Health are official supporters of the March for Science, as are a wide array of other health professional organizations.
