First-year students explore communities, earn recognitions for outstanding projects
The University of Washington Communities & 十大正规赌平台平台 (CoRe) project is an opportunity for incoming first-year students at the UW to examine population health on a personal level. In interdisciplinary and collaborative groups, students analyze various factors impacting population health in different Seattle neighborhoods, all through the lens of their expertise, discipline and experience.
For the third year in a row, UW 第一年课程 and the 人口健康 Initiative have partnered to recognize CoRe projects that excelled in their exploration of population health.
“I am continually energized to discover the impacts of the CoRe project. Not only does it require collaboration among new students, it is a prime example of cross-campus collaboration, as staff and faculty from 人口健康, 碎“五年规划, 图书馆, and other areas come together to examine, 修改, and promote this work,” shared Emily Kolby, Director of First Year Curriculum and Engagement in 第一年课程.
自2018年以来, the First-year Interest Group (FIG) program, in partnership with the 人口健康 Initiative, has assigned the CoRe project to first-year students to examine various factors that impact the health and well-being of neighborhoods in Seattle. 学生 work in groups to analyze the assets and challenges the neighborhood possesses. Each group conducts initial background research, visits their neighborhood as a team and creates a final project showcasing their findings of the neighborhood.
“The CoRE project allows first-year students to physically go to Seattle neighborhoods and explore population health topics that can be visibly analyzed–a lot of factors that we don’t normally consider when we are in these neighborhoods,——Kathy Yin, a 4th year FIG leader explained. “CoRE encourages students to research and explore interest areas, observing different areas as a group, and being able to communicate with other teammates and exchange ideas.”
From more than 100 FIG group submissions for top project, the 碎“五年规划 office selected 10 projects to comprise the group of Top CoRe Awards. Members from each winning group have since received a CoRe Award certificate, a gift card in recognition of their outstanding research efforts and their project highlighted on the Top CoRe Awards web page. The winning projects are highlighted in the following table.
