Drop-in advising hours Monday, 5/11/15

A faculty advisor will be available on campus on Monday, May 11 for drop in advising in MH 438A between 10-11:15 and 12:45-2:00.  These additional drop-in hours will take place in the Dean's Conference Room so shared questions can be discussed together.   Please come prepared to discuss your questions in small groups. 

Faculty Advising is winding down for the semester and the hours that are posted on the blog are the only remaining advising hours available for this spring.   Advising questions will be answered over the summer, but the email question response time will be significantly slower and on-campus availability will be greatly reduced.   

All declared Health Science undergraduate students are expected to attend the Fall Welcome Assembly being planned for the afternoon of Wednesday, August 19th where the department leadership will provide an opportunity to discuss the program, courses, student opportunities, and advising questions and processes.  

We Are Invited!!!

We have been invited by the Healthier Kids Foundation of Santa Clara county to select and send 10 students from the Health Science Undergraduate or Master's of Public Health Programs to attend their 5th Annual Symposium on the Status on Children's Health.  This year's keynote is Dr. Robert Lustig who will be talking about sugar policy and politics.  

If you are interested in attending please submit this quick form and we will notify the first 10 students selected to attend.

Planning for the future?

Join us tomorrow in Hugh Gillis Hall (room 122) from 12-2 to learn about the two global Faculty Led Programs sponsored by our department - Paris and Hong Kong - followed by small group discussions about academic planning and the fall semester.   Academic advisors and faculty members will be available to meet with students during the second hour of this event.

Spring 2015 Fieldwork Expo

If you are planning to enroll in HS 166A and HS 166B in the fall, then you need to attend the Health Science Fieldwork Expo on Friday 5/8 from 10:30-11:30AM in MH324.  Representatives from potential internship sites will be present. You must apply to and be accepted to internships over the summer in order to start your 200 hours of fieldwork the first week of the fall semester and this is your best way to connect with folks.  This is a fantastic resource for you to learn from the experiences of your peers and identify where you'd like to pursue for your internship.  You'll also meet the faculty members who will support you in this adventure.
