Wellness Through Events
The Paw Print
Each week the Division of Student Affairs sends out The Paw Print, which will provide you with updates on key areas and events that you can engage in.
The Importance of Engaging for Your Wellness
Engaging in stimulating activities outside of the classroom is just as important to support your overall health and wellbeing as attending classes and studying for your exams. Northwestern provides an endless array of engaging events for little or no cost. These opportunities allow for connecting with new people and learning in a way you may not have otherwise.
Every event provides some way to foster an area of your wellbeing whether it’s a movie screening, speaker panel, sporting event, or even Dillo Day! Give yourself the time to enjoy these opportunities. It just may be what sends you on a new path you never could see before.

What does it really take to move an evidence-based intervention from a research study into everyday community practice?
Join the Third Coast CFAR’s HIV Dissemination Science and Practice Scientific Working Group (DisSci SWG) for a hybrid seminar featuring Greg Rebchook, PhD.
Using the Mpowerment Project as a case study, this seminar will share the successes, adaptations, tradeoffs, and behind-the-scenes lessons from more than two decades of dissemination and implementation work with community-based organizations. The seminar will highlight what helped organizations adopt and sustain the intervention, how organizations reshaped it for local communities, and what we learned about technical assistance, fidelity, partnerships, and the practicalities of implementation in the real world.
The primary audience for this seminar is anyone interested in dissemination and implementation, especially researchers, practitioners, public health professionals, and community partners working to translate evidence-based interventions into real-world settings.
If you will be attending in person, please RSVP by Thursday, October 29 to receive a lunch.
Calendar invite and Zoom link provided after registration.

This is a hybrid event. Please register at the link below to receive an event invitation with information on the in-person location and Zoom link. Lunch will be available for in-person attendees.
Seminar Learning Objectives
1. Describe the application of mystery shopping as a community-engaged quality assessment methodology for identifying HIV prevention service gaps not captured by provider self-report or administrative data.
2. Identify implementation strategies, including digital navigation tools and workforce training, that leverage community-generated quality assessment data to improve HIV prevention service delivery for young men who have sex with men.
3. Apply lessons learned to evaluate the quality and responsiveness of HIV prevention services within their own practice or organizational contexts.
About the Speaker
Dr. José A. Bauermeister is the Albert M. Greenfield Professor of Human Relations at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Bauermeister's research focuses on HIV prevention and care among populations most affected by the epidemic, with particular attention to the implementation failures that sustain those disparities even when effective tools exist. His work integrates behavioral science, digital health, and community-engaged methods to evaluate and improve the systems through which prevention reaches, or fails to reach, those who need it most. He leads the User Preferences Core of the LEAP Network, a NIH-sponsored research resource infrastructure focused on long-acting and extended-release HIV and infectious disease products, and co-leads the Assets, Resources, Challenges and Context (ARCC) Scientific Leadership Group within the Adolescent Trials Network. He earned his PhD and MPH from the University of Michigan and his BA from the University of Puerto Rico - Mayagüez.
