One initiative that we take great pride in is the Health Affairs Partnership Pipeline Initiative (HAPPI) which is funded by the NC AHEC statewide grant. This enables us to work with our campus health affairs partners to introduce students at all levels to the myriad of health career options available for them to explore. This collaborative effort enables us to share resources and organize several events for students allowing all partners to participate. We have worked with McNair scholars, Carolina Advising Corp, UNC-CH Summer Bridge students on a consistent basis each summer for the past five years. Other groups have been exposed to various health careers over the years. These events are planned and organized annually in conjunction with Health Science (HS) faculty and students under the DHS Diversity and Inclusion Leadership Team.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/628\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-10-at-11.45.25-AM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3371 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/628\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-10-at-11.45.25-AM-1024x214.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/628\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-10-at-11.45.25-AM-1024x214.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/628\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-10-at-11.45.25-AM-150x31.png 150w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/628\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-10-at-11.45.25-AM-300x63.png 300w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/628\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-10-at-11.45.25-AM-768x160.png 768w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/628\/2018\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-10-at-11.45.25-AM.png 1484w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"row  oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n<div class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-xs-12 col-sm-12 oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n<h3>Middle School<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2629\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignright\" style=\"width: 310px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2629 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/628\/2018\/05\/IMG_0961-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/628\/2018\/05\/IMG_0961-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/628\/2018\/05\/IMG_0961-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/628\/2018\/05\/IMG_0961-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/628\/2018\/05\/IMG_0961-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Middle school outreach<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We partner with various AHEC regional centers as well as the UNC-CH CHEOP office as requested to host students or provide allied health information and demonstrations for them to consider a future career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-xs-12 col-sm-12 oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n<h3>High School<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2630\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignright\" style=\"width: 310px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2630 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/628\/2018\/05\/060-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/628\/2018\/05\/060-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/628\/2018\/05\/060-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/628\/2018\/05\/060-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/628\/2018\/05\/060-1024x575.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Working with students<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Statewide high schools, Wake AHEC, and UNC-CH Project Uplift occasionally contact the DHS to host a group of students for experiential learning opportunities.
