This summer, SDSU’s School of Public Health welcomed 34 local high school students for the first Pathways to Public Health: Empowering the Next Generation workshop.

In partnership with the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency’s Live Well Center for Innovation & Leadership, students explored public health through hands-on activities, lab visits and conversations with professionals in the field. The week highlighted the many ways future leaders can help strengthen community health.

A new partnership is creating opportunities for learning, collaboration and community impact across the U.S.-Mexico border. SDSU has signed a memorandum of understanding with Universidad Intercultural de Baja California, Baja California’s only intercultural university, which expands access to higher education for Indigenous, rural and migrant communities.

During their visit to SDSU, UIBC leaders toured the School of Nursing’s Learning Lab and connected with faculty as both universities explored future collaboration in nursing and other disciplines. We look forward to the possibilities this partnership can create for students, faculty and the communities we serve.
