The recently launched Cornell Master of Public Health (MPH) program has been partnering with governmental and non-governmental community organizations in the Southern Tier of New York state to co-implement its curriculum. The program administrators value the organizations’ many contributions to the MPH program, including partnering to develop and deliver class lectures, providing case-study material and co-mentoring students in community-engaged learning projects. But what are the measurable impacts on and benefits for all the partners? This grant funds a program evaluation focused on three community-engaged projects related to the Tompkins County Childhood Nutrition Collaborative in order to assess what is anecdotally claimed to be multifaceted and multi-directional benefits — to the MPH program, to the MPH students and to the partners.
