Engaged Opportunity Grants

Community Development and Empowerment Through Evaluation

Assessing the impact Cornell’s Master of Public Health program has on students and partners

The recently launched Cornell Master of Public Health (MPH) program has been partnering with governmental and non-governmental community organizations in the Southern Tier of New York state to co-implement its curriculum. The program administrators value the organizations’ many contributions to the MPH program, including partnering to develop and deliver class lectures, providing case-study material and co-mentoring students in community-engaged learning projects. But what are the measurable impacts on and benefits for all the partners? This grant funds a program evaluation focused on three community-engaged projects related to the Tompkins County Childhood Nutrition Collaborative in order to assess what is anecdotally claimed to be multifaceted and multi-directional benefits — to the MPH program, to the MPH students and to the partners.
