Upcoming Coffee & Connect Sessions:

Measuring Welfare and Empathy

October 4th, 2023

Let's talk research! Join Lauren Powell and Karen Verderame as they introduce an all-new assessment poised to transform the field of humane education with data collection. Penn Vet Shelter Medicine and Community Engagement is conducting a study to test the reliability and validity of two new scales. These scales were developed to measure student knowledge regarding animal welfare and empathy towards animals and to investigate the impact of humane education programs on student attitudes and empathy towards animals. We would like to invite the APHE community to collaborate to test these scales. Together, we can assess the profound impacts of the tireless work being done in the field of humane education!

HISTORY OF COFFEE AND CONNECT

Our popular Coffee & Connect webinars were introduced in 2020 resulting from an immediate need for our members to connect and share summer camp planning during the 2020 COVID pandemic beginnings. Due to the success of this monthly program (formerly Coffee & Camp), the program has evolved to monthly webinars featuring experts in the field of Humane Education. Each Coffee & Connect features spotlights topics relevant to educators in the field. 

Coffee & Connect is offered the 1st Wednesday of each month, at 1pm ET.  Registration is free for members and requires pre-registration. Non-members may register for a $5 fee.
