A Letter from the Public Health Student Group at Steinhardt
THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed to making the work of PHSG a huge success this semester. By the hard work and dedication of those who graduated before us, we were handed a very strong foundation to build upon during the 2008-2009 academic year. With that said, this semester has been our most successful since the inception of PHSG.
This Fall, PHSG has presented a variety of events ranging in topic: career development, public health issues, and networking (social, academic and professional). These successes would not have been possible, if not for the new students who stepped up as leaders this year. They have consistently brought innovative ideas to shape and expand the programs offered by the department—which is the ultimate goal of PHSG.
Also, a large part of our success this semester should be attributed to our wonderful faculty and staff—we thank you for your willingness to engage with us critically and socially, outside of the classroom (especially given your limited free time).
Last, but not least, we thank those who have attended PHSG events and/or provided feedback regarding them. We know that everyone’s lives are busy, and when interest is strong enough to put these events into your schedules, that means that we’re on the right track. We hope that you’ll keep attending our meetings and events in the remainder of this semester and throughout the next—our next meeting is December 3rd and there are a lot of great events in the works for Spring ’09!
Have a Wonderful Winter Break & Happy Holidays!
Rose Chang, Co-President
