Welcome to the Institute for Human-Animal Connection, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at advancing knowledge and practice in the field of human-animal-environment interactions through innovative and ethical education and research. This project is dedicated to elevating the relationships between people, other animals, and the environment to improve the health and well-being of all.
Why Your Support Matters: Now more than ever, professionals who understand the interconnections between humans, other species, and the environment are called upon to address emergent crises including access to care, systemic racism, disparities in health and mental health care, and other social systems. Our students are trained to see individuals and systems from a perspective that uniquely prepares them to advance human, animal, and environmental well-being throughout their lives and careers. We have structured our certificates to embed this work into the curriculum, ensuring that our students become competent and ethical leaders in the field of human-animal-environment interactions.
How the Funds Will Be Used: Your generous contributions will directly fund scholarships to incentivize recruitment and retention of diverse students to the profession, while also ensuring our capacity to continue to innovate and develop timely and relevant curriculum. Scholarship funds are awarded to students who would otherwise be unable to afford these beneficial offerings. Each donation will be strategically used to maximize the impact on students' educational experiences.
