This is an opportunity for students — graduates and undergraduates — to showcase their research and/or term projects (which can include, for example, program development/evaluation, primary and secondary assessments, exploration of health equity, and process improvement) related to the practice of public health in Ohio. This opportunity is open to students in ALL majors and professional schools who can connect their work to the practice of public health in Ohio.

This is also a great opportunity for students to network with public health professionals across the state. Students can apply for reimbursement of travel expenses.
