Are you interested in learning more about public health? The School of Public Health organizes a number of seminars and presentations throughout the year for its students and faculty, and for the general community. To download each seminar, please click on the title of the presentation given below.
The Public Health seminars are a crucial element in rounding out the knowledge of Public Health practitioners and of integrating the core Public Health disciplines. All MPH students are required to attend a minimum of 75% of the seminars that are offered throughout the academic term. Failure to meet the minimum criteria of attending 75% of all SPH seminars will result in failure of the SPH seminar course (PUBH 990). Please note that an MPH student cannot graduate without a passing grade in every semester for the PUBH 990 course. Starting this September 2011, SPH seminar attendance is mandatory and in-person for all the regular MPH students.
