A.             2006 Student Co-Liaisons Introductions

Students can be the driving catalyst in public health progress, which is why our involvement in the APHA Environmental Section is so important. As co-liaisons to this section, we are very excited to be working with such a dedicated group of public health professionals.

Who are we?

My name is Rebecca Tave Gluskin and I am currently a prospective MSc candidate in Environmental Health at New York University. My research is in air pollution, with interests branching into policy.

My name is Taylor Anderson, and I am currently working towards a MPH in Health Education and Health Promotion at Portland State University. I plan to do PhD work in epidemiology, with the ultimate goal of research and teaching. I have a broad range of interests in public health, with environmental health being a main one.

To get a jump start this spring, we would like to hear from the APHA student community. Tell us why you are interested in environmental health, what you would like to gain from this group and what you would like to contribute. For example, do you want networking opportunities (at Annual Meeting and during other times), ways to get involved with policy, updates on research, award opportunities, etc.? We hope to make this a beneficial resource for the APHA Environmental Section student community.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
