On March 20, the AIU and Project SEEKS SES held its eighth virtual community of practice meeting. During the meeting, the West Mifflin School District and the University of Pittsburgh talked about their partnership through Project SEEKS SES. 

Due to grant support, the West Mifflin School District has been able to create two fitness rooms stocked with fitness equipment and counseling services. To read more about that initiative, click here.

Noelle Haney, West Mifflin's Director of Pupil Services, presented during the meeting. You can view her presentation here.

Additionally, Elizabeth Miller, a Professor of Pediatrics, Public Health and Clinical and Translational Science at the University of Pittsburgh, shared details about the Pittsburgh Study, among other initiatives. You can view her slides here.

Each community of practice meeting focuses on a shared topic of interest between school district, higher education and community partners. Each meeting is led by the Project SEEKS SES coordinator, Shannon Fagan, in conjunction with a school district/university partner and subject-matter expert.
