We invite you to join us for a group (virtual) viewing of the National Health Equity Research Webcast, an annual event organized by colleagues at the University of North Carolina. The theme for 2021 is “This Is U.S.: Dissent, Denial and the Health of Populations.” The webcast is Friday, Sept. 17, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Iowa time.

The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee and the Health Equity Advancement Lab (HEAL) within the UI College of Public Health are partnering with UNC to spread the word of this event and make it more widely available.  his year’s esteemed panelists are particularly impressive, and we are excited to be able to offer this opportunity campus-wide.

Learn more about the panelists.

A Zoom link for the webinar will be sent to you 24 hours prior to the event. For interested UI participants, a 30-minute discussion of the panel conversation will follow, with a focus on how the topic at hand applies to the University of Iowa.

We hope you will be able to join us for this stimulating event.  Please contact any of the co-organizers below should you have any questions.
