Recently, our BSPH students marked the end of their Field Experience with a final presentation event. Faculty, staff, preceptors, and community partners attended to hear students share about their project and accomplishments from the semester. Read more about the student project topics.
Following the presentations, students in the BSPH and the BS in Nutritional Sciences program enjoyed a keynote address by Valerie MacMillan, Executive Director of NourishMKE. MacMillan discussed key issues surrounding food insecurity and encouraged students to get involved in meaningful ways.
The event concluded with a graduation celebration, where students were recognized with honors and graduation cords. Students receiving commencement honors included Sydney Bohaman, Laura Czapiewski, Kylie Degner, Michael Figueroa Osorio, Henry Jacob, Maxwell Sharkey, and Ashlyn Rose.
We’re also excited to have two students continuing into a Zilber College master’s program: Michael Figueroa Osorio will be continuing in the MPH Community and Behavioral Health Promotion Track, and Nick Wielgosz will be continuing in the MS in Biostatistics.
Also, two students were offered jobs before graduation! Taofiqat Jimoh was offered a full-time position at her Field Expeirence site, Alaafia. Syndey Boham was offered a position as an Environmental Health Specialist with the City of Watertown Public Health Department.
We are so proud of our BSPH students and all they have accomplished!
