The Community Health Awareness (Education) Initiative at College Park is a public health effort with the goal of promoting genomic literacy in the College Park community and increasing access to genetic testing as a preventative health measure among college students. CHAI hosts multiple educational events for UMD students throughout the academic year, all of which are virtual and include a range of genetics professionals as guest lecturers and/or panelists. CHAI aims to host a virtual genetic screening event at the end of the year during which students will have the opportunity to undergo genetic testing via the Victor Center, a national genetics-related nonprofit.
