PUBLIC HEALTH STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS

Maryland

The NETWORK is seeking to establish and maintain a database that includes contact information for student organizations on college and university campuses that specifically address the needs and special interests of public health students of color.  These organizations include special interest groups that discuss public health issues as well as newly forming and established student organizations for this special segment of the public health workforce on your campus.  This is an ongoing project of the NETWORK's that will be updated on a quarterly basis throughout the year as information becomes available.  Where applicable, we are requesting the following information:

  • name of student organization or interest group
  • name of college or university
  • mailing address & phone number
  • website & group email address
  • contact information of person designated for media, public relations or e-communications within organization
  • contact information for organization's advisor

Please submit your responses directly to Zara E. Sadler ( bypphn@yahoo.com ).  If there is no designee within your organization or on your campus for public relations or mass e-communications, please indicate whether you are interested in serving as a liaison between the NETWORK and your student organization/college campus.  We look forward to hearing from you.

Information to date that has been provided by listserv members is summarized in the table below.  We hope that this is a handy resource for our members and all those interested in utilizing this information.
