“Creative solutions for child health and well-being”

Hosted by the Children and Youth Collaborative Network (CYCN)

The CYCN Conference is an opportunity for the WashU Community to address successes and challenges in driving research on child health and well-being, and foster community relations.

Programming will feature a keynote talk, panel and a poster session to learn about research programs and expertise in the WashU Community. Following the keynote speaker’s presentation, a panel of four speakers will each give a five-minute Ignite-style talk (20 slides, 15 seconds each automatically advancing), highlighting a creative solution to a child-focused problem they have addressed or are currently addressing with their research. The Ignite presentations will be followed by a Q and A session.

Panelists

• Caitlin Kelleher (Professor, WashU Computer Science & Engineering)
• Trish Kohl (Professor, WashU Brown School)
• Joan Luby (Professor, WashU Psychiatry)
• Victoria May (Executive Director, WashU Institute for School Partnership)

The CYCN is supported by a Transcend Initiative Award. For additional information or questions about the CYCN, contact us at ChildrenYouthNetwork@wustl.edu.
