Cornell Student Society for Public Health

What is the Cornell Student Society For Public Health? 

Cornell Student Society for Public Health is an organization created to discuss and create awareness about healthcare infrastructure issues and epidemiological trends that are affecting developing countries around the world. The organization will work to address the health threats of different communities worldwide; paying special attention to the social context of disease.   We hope to empower students by gaining insight on how to obtain a degree in public health that can be applied to careers in the "real world."  Moreover, we will provide undergraduates with opportunities to learn more about Public Health and Epidemiology through national and international collaborations.  Our club will help promote healthcare intervention projects in the United States and abroad and bring awareness to infectious diseases that are neglected.  Our club will also provide workshops on public health careers and act as a resource for international internships.  We will work with local Cornell and Ithaca community members to organize events and encourage education about the public health.  In the process we:
