SPH Student Survey
In May 2007, SPARC repeated our 2005 JHSPH student body survey. Results indicated a growing student interest in institutional engagement with the East Baltimore Community. Survey results are included in the memo outlining the rationale for the certificate proposal, above. 

2007 List of Community-Engaged Courses   
Members of the SPARC Executive Commitee in collaboration with SOURCE prepared a list of courses that contain some focus on community engagement. Updated Fall 2007.

2006 Student Assembly Resolution  
SPARC prepared a resolution calling on JHSPH to invest greater resources in the East Baltimore community
and to convene a committee including community and student representatives to determine how best
to do this. The resolution was passed unanimously by Student Assembly in May 2006.     

2005 JHSPH Student Survey Results     
This survey was conducted in May 2005 and asked students for their opinions on JHSPH's involvement with the East Baltimore community. It demonstrated widespread student interest in community engagement through coursework and investment in the community by the institution.
