Audiology doctoral students from the Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders joined staff and students from the College for Community Health at the 10th annual Sustainable Health & Wellness Village Festival (SHWV) in Branch Brook Park, Newark, New Jersey. Hosted by Caresparc Community Connections, the festival is a statewide event aimed at advancing health equity and improving public health outcomes in Black and Brown communities through culturally relevant activities.
At the event, the students educated attendees on noise exposure and safe listening practices using an interactive mannequin equipped with a sound level meter. They also distributed hearing protection to promote safer listening habits. This outreach effort highlighted the department’s commitment to fostering public awareness and supporting community health.
