Promoting International Collaboration through Short Term Study Abroad in Public Health, Nutrition, and Fitness
“Promoting International Collaboration through Short Term Study Abroad in Public Heath, Nutrition and Fitness” is an innovative exchange program between St. Francis College and Universidad del Valle de Atemajac. The program will connect courses in public health and nutrition, engaging students and faculty members at each partner institution. The virtual and short-term in-person format of the exchange program helps St. Francis and Universidad del Valle de Atemajac students overcome many obstacles they face in study abroad. The focus of the program on health and wellness is timely given the current COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to the other public health challenges faced in both communities.
