About the IMPACT Center

Developed with the goal of improving academic success, retention, and student engagement, the IMPACT Center is meant to be the center of Barnett College of Public Health student’s community.

The IMPACT Center’s foundation was built on the following core values:

Inclusivity, diversity, equity and accessibility. We believe that health is a basic human right, and we work to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to find health and well-being.

Meaningful interprofessional education, research and practice: We affirm that working across professions is a mindset that is needed in the classrooms, workforce and research centers of tomorrow.

Personal and professional growth: Beyond the development of knowledge, we know that it is also important to develop a sense of self and to build toward career aspirations.

Advocacy to advance change: As health and social service professionals, we are leaders in speaking up to make way for change in our institutions, our communities and our professions.

Community building and collaboration: We are better together, bridging to the gap between academics and community partners to define the problems of the day and seek innovative solutions.

Translation of knowledge into research and research into practice: We work to create a cycle of change that includes both the generation of new knowledge and putting that knowledge to work in new practices, policies and systems to improve health.
