Student Section Update - Vijay Vasudevan,  MPH

It is that time of year again, and we wanted to congratulate those students who have graduated and will graduate soon. The student assembly has been hard at work at two main goals: increasing the networking opportunities for students and providing a voice for students within the Disability Section and APHA at large. At the APHA Annual Meeting, the student council has organized an orientation and networking session on Oct. 30, 2011 from 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. For students who have never been to APHA, we have arranged an orientation session to help make the Annual Meeting not seem so daunting. This will be followed by a networking session which will provide students an opportunity to talk with disability and health leaders directly about topics important to students in the disability field.

The student assembly is here to represent the students of the Disability Section. The student assembly will be sending out a brief assessment in the near future about what you the student would like to see within the Section and for your future endeavors (ex. networking and publishing opportunities).  We look forward to your input.
