Lunch and Learn Series

A monthly series designed to provide a space where attendees can acquire new knowledge or deepen their understanding of diverse topics at the intersection of public health. Using celebratory awareness months as a guide, each session features themes inspired by historically under-recognized holidays.

What to Expect

  • Informative Sessions
    Each Lunch and Learn event includes an educational presentation on a specific public health topic, offering valuable insights and information.
  • Open Discussions
    Following the presentation, engage in an open discussion where attendees can share perspectives, ask questions, and explore the topic in greater depth.
  • Ongoing Resources
    The resources and materials shared during each session are added to our public website, allowing further exploration and continued engagement with the topics discussed.
  • Complimentary Lunch
    Enjoy a complimentary lunch our office provides as you participate in these enriching sessions.
