In this course, students explore upstream systems that influence health and then apply their learning to generate ideas for making everyday life healthier on campus. Taking a systems approach to health includes the deliberate upstream design of the places we live, learn, work and play to support living in ways that keep people well - physically, emotionally, financially, and socially. Spring Quarter 2026 we are reimagining the Stanford food ecosystem, especially Stanford residential dining, in partnership with Residential & Dining Enterprises.
