It’s Not Just Talk—Ask this Brunswick, GA Community
A coastal Georgia community haunted by industrial pollution asked Rollins researchers to investigate concerns about hidden toxins. We partnered with Brunswick locals on a public health fact-finding mission. The result: Residents found elevated levels of pollutants in their lab work, opening the door for a larger study aiming to find solutions and create change.
The Rollins-Brunswick partnership is just one example of how faculty and students put public health in motion.
