Bridging Education & Practice Initiative

The Bridging Education & Practice Initiative was created by the InSOPHE Board of Directors to introduce students to the organization, the health education field, and professional development opportunities. Student participation in a state-wide organization benefits their professional development and provides networking opportunities that may lead them in their professional journey. The board of directors also recognizes that there may be future leaders for our organization in these students.

The goal is to have at least one “faculty liaison” at each university in the State of Indiana who bridges the gap between the board of directors and their student population. We ask that the liaison introduces InSOPHE to their students each semester by:

Showing the InSOPHE Orientation video during one of their classes
Distributing the InSOPHE brochure to interested students
Sharing their story of how getting involved in an organization positively affected their career
Promoting continuing education opportunities and if possible arranging transportation of students to these events

With this partnership we can continue to mentor students and provide them opportunities to learn outside of the classroom.
