Delta Omega, the public health honorary society, manages an annual Innovative Curriculum Award program that solicits creative curriculum that bridges the gap between public health academia and practice. In early 2024, Delta Omega will be hosting a series of webinars featuring the winner, runner-ups, and finalists. Please register and join us.
The award was designed to stimulate the evolution of innovative graduate public health courses that are responsive to the educational needs of the public health workforce.
The winner of the 2023 award is Dr. Alisa Velonis (UIC) for her submission “Community-Engaged Program Evaluation.”
