PHSC Student Ambassadors Program

PHSC Student Ambassadors are a select group of Public Health Science majors from the College Park campus who assist prospective students in the enrollment process and represent the Public Health Science program (PHSC) at outreach activities and events for current and prospective UMD students.

Public Health Science majors at the University of Maryland School of Public Health have access to a number of resources and opportunities to enhance and support your academic, co-curricular, and career goals.

Thriving in a Post-COVID Age

The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly altered the research field, leading to institutions struggling to keep career development connections and networks. The virus may also contribute to increasing the research divide, specifically for underrepresented Early Career Researchers (ECR’s) and doctoral students. 

Racial and ethnic groups who are underrepresented in Health Management, Services and Policy fields tend to face unique obstacles when it comes to career success.

Report: Pandemic Exposes Educational Equity Challenges

Children and families across Maryland and throughout the United States are grappling with the challenges and necessity of virtual learning required by the Covid-19 pandemic. But Black, Latino, and low-income children face starker difficulties and may be at risk of falling behind or disengaging from school entirely. Inequities that existed before the pandemic have become even deeper and difficult to bridge. 

Graduate students at the School of Public Health are a vital part of our academic community. With a wide variety of professional experiences and personal backgrounds, students in our programs share a commitment to public health and meaningful research. Located just outside of Washington, D.C., the University of Maryland School of Public Health holds strong ties to federal government agencies, global institutions based in the national capital region, as well as many regional organizations, companies and local community partners.
