The Office of Community & Practice (OC&P) serves as the central hub for nurturing an interconnected, inclusive community at YSPH, across campus, and beyond. OC&P advances a variety of experiences, expertise, inquiry, and practice with the goal of improving health for all through internal- and external-facing work. We support practice-based learning, skill development, internal and external community support, research partnerships, as well as public health workforce education. We foster a culture grounded in mutual respect and shared humanity and engage our faculty, staff, students, and partners locally and globally to make public health foundational to thriving communities everywhere. 
 
We value intellectual curiosity and the free and respectful expression of diverse opinions. Discrimination and harassment in any form have no place at YSPH.
