Description
Relationships are the center of successful community-academic collaboration. Like with any relationship, academic-community partnerships must be nurtured in ways that allow all partners to benefit. This session will address this topic using examples of ongoing projects, with particular focus on collaborative relationships with Native American communities. For this session we will be joined by Rosanna Sanders, a community partner who collaborates with Dr. Tomayko. Rosanna is a Nutrition Education Program Assistant for Oregon State University Extension and an enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs.
