We are excited to announce the appointment of Dr. Nimi Singh as CECMH’s first faculty fellow. The Fellows Program was designed to create an avenue for University and community experts to work in collaboration with CECMH staff to carry out relevant research, education, and public engagement activities related to the mission of CECMH.  Fellows assume a leadership role in their area of expertise and work collaboratively with CECMH staff to better meet the needs of children and families in Minnesota.
