On November 7-8, 2024, the Community Engagement Core hosted Melissa Creary, PhD, MPH for the fall Speaker Series. Events included a dinner and awards ceremony with a keynote titled, “Navigating the Unstable Table: The Power and Responsibility of Inclusivity” and CCTST Grand Rounds: “Toward What Justice? Building an Infrastructure for Equity”.
Nearly 200 individuals representing UC, UC Health, CCHMC, and the greater Cincinnati community attended these events.
