Writing with Impact for Different Audiences

The Delta Omega Honorary Society for Public Health was founded more than 100 years ago to recognize excellence and dedication to the field. Today, Delta Omega continues that tradition by supporting the professional growth of public health students, alumni, faculty, and professionals. And professional growth includes being able to communicate what we know. Public health professionals write for many different audiences, and the way we communicate our work can be just as important as the information itself. For this presentation, we’re fortunate to hear two perspectives on writing with impact.
