If you are a staff or faculty member interested in the intersection of human, animal and environmental health, please join a group of leading faculty on Friday, Nov.  1, from 1:10-2 p.m. in 10-241 for an informational and planning meeting about developing a One Health academic program at Cal Poly. 

“One Health is a collaborative, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approach — working at the local, regional, national, and global levels — with the goal of achieving optimal health outcomes recognizing the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment (CDC).”  

Academic opportunities in One Health will allow students to develop cross-disciplinary skills and pursue unique research collaborations while addressing urgent contemporary issues such as climate change, public health, zoonotic diseases, vector-borne diseases, antimicrobial resistance, food safety and food security and environmental contamination.  

All disciplines welcome!  

Contact Laura Backus lbackus@calpoly.edu with any questions.
