CHHD Graduate Certificate Projects

The Graduate Certificate in Culture, Health and Human Development is awarded following completion of all requirements, including presentation of a research project to faculty, students, and members of the community.  Nine students have earned their CHHD Graduate Certificate; some have presented their projects at scientific meetings, with support from the CHHD.
