September 15, 2026
  • MCH Moves September 15, 2026  12:45 pm - 1:15 pm

    Folks from the Center for Leadership Education in Maternal and Child Public Health and MCH Student Interest Group (MCHSIG) want to get to know you! 

    We'll meet at 12:45 pm outside of HSEC 4-101. A MCHSIG member, Center staff or faculty member will lead the group for a short 30-45 minute walk. 

    We'll venture outside when the weather permits and use the Gopher Way when it doesn't. Students can reserve a locker in the SPHERE if they'd like to secure their items while we walk. 

    This is an informal opportunity for MCHers to build community, network, ask questions, and build leadership skills. Second year MCH students will also be invited. We hope you'll join us! 

    Co-sponsored by the Center for MCH.
