Hello SPH Students!
Thank you to all the students who participated in the Friendsgiving Mixer last week! We enjoyed each other’s company, shared our plans for Thanksgiving, and watched Thanksgiving-related episodes from different TV shows.
We want to make you aware of open positions for student representatives. The first is the Committee for Individuals with Disabilities and Protected Veterans. The second is the newly formed SPH Committee for Equity and Inclusion. Interested students should send a letter of interest to GSGA@sphmail.cuny.edu.
Also, we want students to know that there are awards available for students who attend general public health and professional development conferences. More information can be found here.
Don’t forget to check out the upcoming events below or click here to see the calendar of events!
Sincerely,
GSGA 2020-2021
