Advisory Committees
ACADEMIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE
LOHP works with UC and other faculty to develop community based participatory research and other intervention or “Research to Practice” projects. The organization depends upon the support and input of the Academic Advisory Committee to build those relationships and to ensure that our projects and services are evidenced-based and well-linked to other faculty endeavors. LOHP also plays an integral role in the academic mission of the Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (COEH) by speaking in university classes to introduce students to occupational and environmental health issues and careers; providing internships that give students practical, meaningful experience with workers in union and community settings; and making academic resources accessible to workers and the community.
LABOR/COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
LOHP relies on a committed group of individuals from labor and community-based organizations (CBOs) to consult on projects, develop training programs and further its organizational mission as a whole. In addition, LOHP collaborates with labor and CBOs on specialized trainings that meet the needs of various industries and occupations, with engaging programs that are multilingual and accessible to various levels of literacy.
