Diversity & Inclusion Champion: University of California, Davis (UCD) Study Abroad in Partnership with Child Family Health International

“I am honored to receive this award on behalf of our Oaxacan, CFHI, Quarter Abroad and Chicanx Studies partners.  Our collaboration for the past 13 years has inspired students to pursue careers in medicine, public health, physical therapy, optometry, and health education. This recognition undoubtedly will continue to facilitate diverse students' exploration of global health  while they experience the cultural richness of our host cities.” - Professor Yvette Flores, lead faculty of the Latinx Health Internship Program."
