Strengthening Partnerships in Health and Education: Delaware and the Nation

The University of Delaware is collaborating with the Vision Coalition of Delaware to bring you the 10th Annual Vision Conference, Strengthening Partnerships in Health and Education: Delaware and the Nation.

This occasion will launch the University's Partnership for Healthy Communities and bring together community members, educators, policy makers, and students to explore the intersection of education and healthy communities. We will be joined by special guest Joseph R. Biden, and we hope you will attend!
