The Student Involvement Committee is a great starting point for student members in the APHA Environment Section. We can help connect you with leaders in various topical areas as well as networking and mentoring opportunities within the Section (in addition to the APHA Student Assembly).

The committee is currently seeking schools and organizations interested in matching funds for our Annual Student Travel Award. One of our primary goals is to help students attend the APHA  Annual Meeting in Denver by providing Student Travel Awards.  Applications for this award will go out in spring 2010. Your involvement in the APHA Environment Section is strongly encouraged. In years past we have provided the opportunity for dozens of students to attend the Annual Meeting, and for the best posters to receive awards. Anyone interested in the Student Involvement Committee should contact either Dr. Derek Shendell, UMDNJ-School of Public Health (derekgshendell@yahoo.com) or Rebecca Gluskin, NYU (rtg230@nyu.edu).
