Room-HSC A: Title: University of Maryland and City of College Park Demonstrate the Power of Partnership

AbstractThis panel will explore the unique partnership between University of Maryland (UMD) and the City of College Park. Together, we successfully assembled property and built a jointly owned building that houses UMD offices, a new City Hall, and street-level retail and plaza.

Room-McKissick: Title: Building Bridges: Identifying and Connecting Partners in Prevention Among Town and Gown Efforts

Abstract: As we work to impact health in our communities, it can often feel like prevention efforts are “outnumbered,” yet there are so many potential partners in prevention that can make a huge difference in successes we achieve.  In this presentation, we will examine potential partners in prevention that can boost the success of campus efforts as well as community efforts.  As we look at ways to build bridges that connect partners in prevention, we will also discuss ways to put a spotlight on ones already there.
