Community Engaged Research

Faculty and students in the COEHS are making a difference in the lives of people in New Mexico, and beyond, by engaging in campus-community partnerships that are mutually beneficial and address real community needs. This work is based in COEHS scholars and community members working in collaborative partnerships which facilitate the equal exchange of information, ideas, expertise and decision making.

COEHS faculty and students partner with community-based organizations, schools, healthcare providers and more to create community centered programming that leads to greater knowledge and understanding. Here are a few examples of the community engaged scholarship within the college:
