JENNIFER JONES (BCHS ’11) is the community engagement coordinator for the University of Pittsburgh Clinical and Translational Science Institute. In this role, she acts as a bridge between community and academia, creating capacity and partnerships. After attending Juniata College, she worked in Washington, D.C., at a public health non-profit, and it was there that she realized she wanted to earn her own Master of Public Health. Pitt was her number-one choice, as she grew up in nearby Shippensburg and has always been an avid fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers (and now the Pirates and Penguins!). While an MPH student, she completed the community based participatory research and practice certificate and later took classes to also receive a certificate in evaluation of public health promotion and health education programs.
