Community Engaged Learning
At Harvard Chan, community engaged learning and scholarship serves an important role in public health education, offering students an opportunity to explore and exercise ethical and authentic engagement with community partners and stakeholders. Based on a service learning framework, students engage in their applied practice experience and research endeavors through a process of listening to learn, self-reflection, and attention to contexts and social systems – critical skills in public health practice and leadership development.
