Camille Collins Lovell, Emily Lucero and Stevaughn Smith were selected to represent the UMass Amherst School of Public Health and Health Sciences at the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health Student Leadership Institute in recognition of their exceptional leadership and commitment to diversity and equity.
The 2021 institute launched at a two-day event held on Friday, April 9, and Monday, April 12, and the cohort will continue to interact throughout the year. Participants will focus on becoming more authentic and inclusive leaders, and learn how identities, unconscious biases and privilege affect the ability to lead and influence diverse stakeholders. They will then be aided in using their knowledge to create a more inclusive environment at their institution.
