On Wednesday, March 18 from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM, we are offering two (optional) skill-building workshops for attendees. These workshops offer dynamic learning environments where participants actively engage in hands-on activities, guided exercises, and collaborative discussions to enhance personal and professional pursuits.
Ranging from technical proficiencies to soft skills development, these sessions cater to a diverse audience seeking to expand their expertise and adaptability. Facilitated by experienced instructors or subject matter experts, skill-building workshops not only provide valuable insights and strategies but also create a supportive space for participants to learn from each other’s experiences. Registrants can add a workshop to their registration for an additional fee.

Led by Dr. C. Edward Watson, Vice President for Digital Innovation with the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), this advanced workshop moves beyond the basics to help participants apply AI tools and strategies directly to courses, departments, and academic operations. Through demonstrations, guided practice, and peer collaboration, participants will gain practical skills, draft materials, and an action plan for integrating AI into teaching, advising, assessment, and program processes.
Note: included in the cost of the workshop is the Foundations of AI in Public Health Education online training. Instructions to access the online training on ASPPH’s eLearn platform were sent to workshop registrants via email.

In an era where misinformation spreads rapidly and complex public health issues require widespread understanding, the ability to communicate science through compelling stories has never been more crucial.
This interactive workshop, led by scientist and science communicator Dr. Elisabeth Marnik, will equip participants with practical tools to translate their work into compelling stories that resonate with diverse audiences. Attendees will learn key elements of narrative structure, practice effective communication techniques, begin developing a public health narrative tailored to their own work, and a leave with a toolkit designed to further develop their public health storytelling.
