Public Health has exciting internship and
volunteer opportunities available for undergraduate and

awaiting them upon graduation.
Opportunities range from HIV epidemiology
or prevention, emergency preparedness, tobacco control,
women’s health, environmental health, health policy,

These are just a few of the topics we handle day to day.
