We have such an amazing group of students, former students now working as research staff, and faculty in the CSM! It's lovely to be recognized during awards day at the -COPH on Florida Department of Health (DOH) for the work we do on to***co prevention and control as well as Department of U.S. Department of Transportation. Our PhD student Angela Makris USF Maternal and Child Health Student Organization (MCHSO) is researching ways to make parenting children with autism easier. If there's a social marketing challenge equivalent to that, I'd like to see it.
