Location: School of Public Health Bldg I and Crossroads and Tower
Organized By: Public Health IDEAS for Preventing Firearm Injuries

The Public Health IDEAS for Preventing Firearm Injuries team will be hosting a Design Jam on Wednesday, September 27, from 12:30-5:30pm in the Cornely Community Room (1680) in SPH I. Design Jams are a facilitated, iterative, interactive way for students to apply their knowledge to a real-world challenge. Students will learn about design thinking principles and devise solutions for a persistent interdisciplinary problem: "How might we support communities in recovering from and preventing firearm violence?"

Facilitated by team members from the Center for Socially Engaged Design, participants will work together to identify strategies and present their proposed solutions to topic experts from across Michigan.

We know that firearm violence is multifaceted and requires multifaceted solutions. We hope that students from all of the University's 19 schools and colleges will consider bringing their experience and ideas. Interested students can apply here or reach out to IDEAS-PFI-Contact@umich.edu for more information.

Lunch will be provided.
