News: 2008 Summer Graduate Program in Public Health July 14 – August 1 Saint Louis University School of Public Health has expanded its Summer Program for 2008 and will be offering the program for both students in graduate public health programs and for professionals in the public and private sectors. The Summer Graduate Program provides an opportunity for students and working adults to take one or more core courses in public health and specialized courses in biosecurity and disaster preparedness for graduate credit or for professional development.  The program provides the opportunity for students to pursue coursework in an informal environment where students and faculty from diverse settings can interact and learn from each other.  Students taking the core courses can earn three credit hours per course over three weeks. The biosecurity/disaster preparedness courses are intensive one-week programs that are also worth three credit hours each.  Detailed information on the 2008 Summer Graduate Program is available at http://publichealth.slu.edu/summerprogram.htm.

Student Info:

SPH Students Awarded National Fellowships in Epidemiology
Four students from the Department of Community Health became finalists for the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE)/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Applied Epidemiology Fellowship Program, and three students have been awarded fellowships. Those students already notified of their acceptance are Katelin Bugler, Mariah Dreisinger and Tiffany Marchbanks. Julianne Sefko is awaiting notification of her status. This is a very competitive fellowship, and this year, of the 369 total applicants, only 35 were selected to attend the in-person interviews in Atlanta. SLU’s strong representation in this program, and the success of previous years’ graduates, is indicative of the quality education and experience that students gain while at the School of Public Health. We continue to be a competitor among the top schools of public health in the country.
