The Fund for Public Health in NYC is hiring
CUNY is partnering with FPHNYC to facilitate the recruitment of CUNY students and alumni and increase their chances of securing these positions. To support this effort, we are asking students and alumni who have applied for these positions to complete this brief survey.
The Fund for Public Health in New York City (FPHNYC) is currently hiring contact tracers and contact tracer supervisors to perform COVID-19 case interviews and contact tracing to support the citywide COVID-19 response using a trauma-informed, culturally respectful approach that builds trust and facilitates the free sharing of information. Detailed position descriptions can be found on the FPHNYC career page.
Petition for CUNY to divest from fossil fuels
SPH students we need your help! Sign the petition to remind our Chancellor and Trustees that we haven’t forgotten the dramatic struggle that must resume when the current crisis passes. CUNY’s administration already has the power to divest from fossil fuels, conserve energy to reduce carbon emissions, eliminate single use plastics and MOVE TOWARD 100% RENEWABLE ENERGY.
Essential Worker Support Group
Thursdays | 12pm-1pm | Beginning April 30 | WebEx
Essential workers are employees who are (or were recently) tasked with working outside of the home during shelter-in-place orders related to COVID-19. Essential workers have been on the front line providing invaluable services to society as we navigate the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic. It is with great gratitude and respect that we offer this open weekly virtual support group for essential workers. The goal of the group is to establish connections through sharing experiences and to engage in mutual emotional support. Resource sharing will also be encouraged. If you would like more information or are interested in joining please email Student Wellness Counselor Sherry Adams at sherry.adams@sph.cuny.edu.
