An important function of the Office of Public Health Practice and Community Engagement is to compile and create resources and best practices guides for community engagement and public health practice. One way that we do this is through the Practice Opportunities Board where current public health practice opportunities are posted on an ongoing basis.
Students from across the School of Public Health are looking for opportunities to engage with communities and implement what they are learning in the classroom in real world settings. From internships to capstone projects and beyond, check out this lookbook to find out how you might partner with our incredible student talent.
