Student spotlight series
The objective of the student spotlight series was to provide a brief overview of the educational journey and experiences of current students or recent alumni from the Environmental Health Sciences department. They shared their different personal stories, including how they initially discovered or developed an interest in this field. Alongside their narratives, each featured student or alumni will also share a valuable piece of advice based on their experiences, offering guidance to aspiring individuals in the EHS field.
First experiences series
The purpose of this series was to highlight current undergraduate and graduate students in the department, focusing on their initial experiences undertaking various activities within or outside the department. These experiences ranged from being a TA, to working on projects like an informative health podcast, or vaccine development. This series shined a light on the various possibilities that came from being an EHS student and the opportunities students were able to experience.
