On Wednesday, August 28th, 2024, we were so excited to host the 14th annual Health Equity & Social Justice (HESJ) Conference in McGowan South at DePaul University. The conference was hosted by DePaul University’s Master of Public Health Program and the Center for Community Health Equity.

It was a day filled with learning from one another with a poster session of research projects and community partner displays surrounding public health topics throughout Chicago as well as presentations from a community-based panel.
