2005 Annual Meeting Student Poster Awards/Travel Scholarships
The Student Involvement Committee fundraised additional funding for the Annual Section Student Scholarships from the University of Texas School of Public Health, University of Kentucky School of Public Health, and Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University. The announcement for student scholarship applications was distributed widely; applications were due to the Student Involvement Committee by Sept. 12. Please visit the Student Poster Session at the 2005 Annual Meeting! Section leaders and other designees will review posters, ask students questions, and vote to determine award winners. The 10 finalists in 2004 did impressive work!
Solicitation for Future “Student Corner” contributions

We encourage short update reports from our section’s Student Involvement Committee and news pertaining to the APHA Student Assembly (former Public Health Student Caucus) that is of interest to our section membership.
