Kudos to Rebecca Rich, Assistant Professor, Department of Public Health Sciences, MPH student Liz Rivera, BSPH alum Sidney Gonzalez-DiGenio, and BSPH student Aspen Goolsby, who were recently featured as guests on the Health Promotion Practice (HPP) Podcast to discuss their co-authored article, "We Don't Get Anywhere Alone: Reflections on the 2024 SOPHE Conference as a Full Circle Moment."
