The Director of HPPS will lead a talented, multidisciplinary team of health promotion educators focused on creating and sustaining healthy learning ecosystems and outcomes. The ideal leader will champion a socio-ecological approach to health promotion and harm reduction by creating, role-modeling, and advocating for resources and environments in which Princeton’s students can thrive.
