First-year (R1ST) Course subtitle: A Backstage Pass to Health: A Tour of Wellbeing through SPHHS

Course topic description: This seminar will examine how each of the majors within SPHHS studies health and what keeps us healthy. The goal of this class is for students to explore and understand the intersections of their major with other majors within SPHHS and to gain a greater sense of how to maintain their wellbeing from a scientifically-oriented point of view as their needs evolve over time. In addition to exploring how they can reinforce wellbeing in these areas as they adjust to university life, students will also have the opportunity to dig deeper into their own majors and subfields within them.
