Dear <<First name>>,

At Oregon State, we are committed to a safe, brave and inclusive community where we all can learn, grow and thrive. We acknowledge that racism is a public health issue. We fight for health equity and health as a human right.

In that spirit, we are sharing a new video of faculty, staff and students verbalizing our commitment in creating a more just world and welcoming others in joining us.

Assistant Professor Kari-Lyn Sakuma presents "A public health crisis: Factors that influence your health outcomes," in the third of a three-part web series offered by the CPHHS, the OSU Alumni Association, the OSU Foundation, and the Oregon State University Center for Health Innovation.
