We offer our students and alumni the resources and opportunities necessary to launch and develop their public health careers through a variety of services, including individual career consultations, career workshops, and employer panels.

We will:

  • Give all students and alumni equal access to career services;
  • Support the development of job search and career management skills of our students and alumni by offering tools that allow each person to assess his / her own skills and interests and assume responsibility for his / her own career goals;
  • Recommend multiple and effective approaches to job search;
  • Encourage ongoing career development;
  • Provide employers and agencies with a simple means of posting their public health internships, volunteer opportunities, fellowships, and public health jobs;
  • Reach 
  • out to employers to provide ways to connect with SPH students;
  • Keep updated about current career resources and on issues related to the market for public health careers.

“Guided by the National Career Development Association’s Ethical Standards, we refrain from interacting with students via online social networking with the exception of promoting networking opportunities and announcing career or student services events.  Thank you for understanding.”
