Description: As higher education and the marketplace for our graduates continue to experience innovative disruptions and exciting new possibilities, schools and programs of public health are at the forefront of redesigning how and what students need to acquire for 21st century needs and opportunities. This session presents the experiences from three cutting-edge institutions that engaged in successful, participatory, and data-driven processes that resulted in new curricula. The speakers will address the mission of their particular institutions, approaches drawn from the Framing the Future initiative, and the link to accreditation in drawing out the generalizable challenges, strategies, and lessons others could use or adapt for taking on similar change in their institutions.
