increase participants' community leadership skills through on-site and 
distance education. Scholars from diverse backgrounds and organizations 
will study and work together to develop community health leadership 
skills to apply in their organizations and in their communities. The 
goal is to create integrated and innovative approaches to building 
healthy communities. Faculty, experienced in community health 
leadership, have worked with alumni to develop a curriculum that is 
organized around five content modules: current public health challenges, 
leadership skills assessment and development, collaborative community 
leadership, crisis leadership, and mentoring and coaching.
