OUTREACH

The College of Applied Human Sciences provides a broad range of outreach activities which are in keeping with our land-grant heritage and the University goal of applying intellectual and academic resources to social, economic and community development in Colorado, the nation, and the world. Our faculty are engaged in real-world partnerships which assist our fellow citizens, and provide our students with unparalleled learning opportunities.

Our extension specialists, such as in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, provide valuable health, nutrition, and food safety information to the public. Outreach efforts in the Human Performance Clinical Research Laboratory in the Department of Health and Exercise Science offer heart attack prevention evaluations to underserved populations. The Center for Community Partnerships in the Department of Occupational Therapy offers several programs which assist citizens with disabilities. The teacher licensure program prepares tomorrow’s educators and gives students hands-on experience in the partner school program. The College also has a role in Colorado State’s commitment to a multi-institutional program to be offered under the auspices of the new Colorado School of Public Health (to be jointly operated with UC Denver Health Sciences Center and the University of Northern Colorado).
