The focus of our students’ research is rooted in service and leadership, with an emphasis on global health and humanitarian service and leadership. As a part of their coursework, our DMSc students participated in a service trip to Africa and the greater Pacific Northwest.

Take a short break from the Christmas Extravaganza and come to the symposium in Canyon Commons to hear about the exciting research our DMSc students have been doing.
