Cluster Lunch and Learn

The Rutgers Housing & Health Equity Cluster hosted its first Lunch and Learn event on Friday, March 1st at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy.

The event introduced attendees to the Cluster’s current activities and invited them to participate in future activities (including opportunities to workshop and present one’s housing and health equity-related work to interested audiences), and to “meet and greet” other Rutgers faculty interested in housing and health equity work. 

And our three newly hired cluster faculty members presented their research: 

Dan Treglia, PhD, MPP – Instructor, Institute for Health, Health Care Policy, and Aging Research 

“Leveraging Cross-Sector Partnerships to Address Housing and Healthcare Needs” 

Katherine Marçal, PhD, MSW – Assistant Professor, School of Social Work 

“Housing Insecurity and Maternal Mental Health”

Veronica Jones, PhD, MPH, CHES – Assistant Professor/Family & Community Sciences Educator III, Department of Family and Community Health Sciences
