HHD On-Location: Home Edition
Online event series brings virtual conversations to the HHD communityThe virtual event series launched earlier this year by the College of Health and Human Development has become a hub of activity for interactive engagement among friends and alumni of the Penn State community. HHD On Location: Home Edition events feature discussions between an assortment of faculty, staff, and alumni and serve as a forum for timely and invigorating conversations — all geared toward making a difference in how Penn Staters live their lives.
The series was launched this spring after the coronavirus pandemic disrupted the colleges’ in-person programming originally slated to take place this summer and fall in regions all across the country.
Coffee with Craig
Every Coffee with Craig is an hour-long, unscripted conversation between Craig. J. Newschaffer, Raymond E. and Erin Stuart Schultz Dean, and a member of the HHD community. These discussions explore timely and relevant topics and give attendees a chance to learn more about the personalities, backstories, and career journeys of featured guests.
Faculty Research In Action
Each Faculty Research In Action event features an hour-long presentation that showcases a faculty member explaining their research in layman’s terms using slides and graphics to engage viewers. Question are welcome as engaging conversation ensues.
Lunch and Learn
Each Lunch and Learn delivers a 30-minute, skills-based program featuring guests who share expertise and life lessons gleaned from their professional experience. Held over the lunch hour, these succinct events deliver useful and concrete takeaways on topics ranging from cooking to fly fishing to improving your golf swing.
Upcoming Spring Events
The HHD On Location: Home Edition virtual event series features voices from across the college at all levels as they participate in timely and invigorating conversations on topics from fishing to nutrition research to trends in the hospitality industry.
January’s virtual programs will focus on the Edna Bennett Pierce Prevention Research Center. A mix of informal conversations and structured presentations will explore the many ways the center impacts the health and well-being of children and families. The center’s ambitious range of activities—conducting community outreach, elevating prevention science, training the nest generation of researchers, shaping public policy—makes it a profoundly important contributor to the college’s mission to enrich the lives of others.
