Career Promotions and Internships
The UMDNJ-School of Public Health (SPH) has been awarded $30,000 to promote public health careers and internships. The Association of Schools of Public Health and the Association of Public Health Laboratories have named SPH as one of ten recipients of an award promoting careers in public health related professions. The School of Public Health was recognized for its funding proposal promoting “Pathways to Public Health Careers and Internships.” 
Mitchel Rosen, director of the school’s Office of Public Health Practice, collaborated with school Fieldwork Coordinators Michelle Kennedy and Deidre Holland and obtained the $30,000 grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that will allow them to organize conferences on public health careers. The conferences will be offered in the spring at a community college in northern and southern New Jersey.
The conferences will demonstrate the diverse opportunities within the profession, while providing valuable dialogue opportunities between students and professionals and recent graduates, as well as an experiential learning opportunity. Individuals recruited for the conference will include students at two and four year colleges in the majors of allied health, environmental science, biology, nursing, political science and business.
