The Office of Access, Culture, and Community (OACC) is launching a creative series in the 25-26 academic year called Zine and Be Seen. Zine and Be Seen will be a monthly workshop series that uses zine-making to explore public health issues such as mental health, disability and access, immigration, and maternal health all through a health equity lens. These hands-on sessions are designed to be inclusive, low-pressure, and joyful spaces where participants can reflect, express, and connect through public health focused creative storytelling. September 25 - Origin Stories: What’s Your Public Health Why? Every public health journey begins with a spark — a moment, memory, or experience that moved you toward this work. In this hands-on zine-making session, we’ll use art, storytelling, and creative reflection to explore our personal “origin stories” and reconnect with the values, questions, and lived experiences that shaped our public health paths. No artistic background required — just curiosity and a willingness to experiment. Together, we’ll create mini zines that capture the why behind our work and build community around the stories that drive us toward a more just and healthy world.
