One Health is a multi-disciplinary approach that works to expand collaborations and communications for the wellbeing of humans, plants and animals, and the environment. DelVal's One Health chapter facilitates learning and hands-on opportunities to further the One Health Initiative right from campus. Topics range from saving endangered species to local climate action planning to intellectual property.
