> Project SASS, Students are Sun Safe, is now a College of Public Health class:
> 
> CPH 497S/597S: Skin Cancer Prevention in the Community Setting
> 
> Project SASS is a skin cancer prevention and early detection outreach program through the University of Arizona Cancer Center's Skin Cancer Institute. 
> 
> This class uses a hybrid method of online modules and two in-person sessions to train students to represent the University of Arizona and the Skin Cancer Institute as a sun safety ambassador in the community. Students are taught skin and skin cancer basics, prevention and early detection methods, health communication and teaching strategies, and how to present our middle/high school lesson and hands-on activities. 
> 
> From there, students apply their knowledge through experiential learning by providing a service for the community.  Project SASS ambassadors complete 6 hours (per credit) of sun safety promotion in the Tucson area. These hours can be fulfilled in a number of ways by: 
> 
> 1. Presenting the Project SASS lesson to local middle and high school classrooms with other Project SASS students or volunteers (usually on Fridays during school hours)
> 
> 2. Engaging in community events on behalf of the Skin Cancer Institute, such as Cyclovia, Tucson Festival of Books, Living in Harmony with the Sun at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, etc. (often on weekends)
> 
> 3. Combining your Project SASS service with your interests and initiating your own project with the Skin Cancer Institute: Previous students have organized sorority and residence hall presentations, sun safety activities for youth at school fairs, social media content, and sun screen stations at their sites of interest.
> 
> Registration is open to any student, undergraduate or graduate: CPH 497S/597S.
