We recently wrapped up our service learning project for students in collaboration with partners in New York City. Over the course of three competition rounds, using the artistic mediums of posters and videos, students created Public Service Announcements. Their PSAs highlight the creativity and powerful perspective that students bring to conversations about vaping prevention when they’re given the opportunity. Congratulations to the total 25 student winners!
