Sharing Stories and Taking Action: Racial Justice Grantee Showcase

In fall 2020, the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences announced its first two Eberly Racial Justice Grant awards to support research and initiatives being undertaken across WVU.

One of the awarded projects, led by Senior Associate Dean and Professor of Public Health Linda Alexander and Eberly Distinguished Professor of Public Service and Professor of Psychology Daniel McNeil, focuses on the impact of the historical legacy of vaccine utilization in the Black community. Through surveys and focus groups, the study is expected to have a significant impact on approaches to administering anticipated vaccines for COVID-19.

The Eberly College will host a virtual showcase on Friday, Dec. 11, at 1 p.m. to allow attendees to learn more about both projects. Registration is required. Additional details can be found here.
