Storytelling that Informs, Engages, and Inspires
Behind every project is a story: Learn how to tell yours. Join the School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (MAPP) and the School of Public Health (SPH) for a screening of short videos highlighting research on the spaces, communities, and systems that shape healthy places.
Following the screening, filmmakers and university writers will discuss how video and storytelling can translate research for wider audiences, attract media attention, and secure critical funding.
Pizza and popcorn to start, with a networking reception to close out the evening!
