Internship and Assistantship Opportunities
We provide internship and assistantship opportunities that will allow you to tailor your professional development. Both internship and assistantship positions provide students with the opportunity to gain relevant experience for future careers.
- In an internship, Public Health majors apply the knowledge they have learned in the classroom in a variety of settings within the community.
- In an assistantship, majors work under the direct supervision of a public health faculty member to further their undergraduate education in an applied manner and develop skills that may enhance future graduate education or employment opportunities.
To learn more about opportunities contact your faculty advisor.
Showcase
Every year, the UMD Public Health program participates in a Student Showcase for students to share the work they have been working on throughout the semester. During the event, students share this work with peers, family, alumni, faculty and other professionals in the field. This is a great opportunity for students to make personal and professional networking connections for future endeavors.
Leadership and Student Groups
Students within our program have the opportunity to be a part of groups and organizations that support and aid in their professional development. Our program has its own student groups in addition to campus groups. These opportunities allow students to lead within the public health program, UMD campus, and the Duluth community.
Community Service
Courses within the program offer students a chance to volunteer in the community and build fulfilling connections within various public health settings. You also have the opportunity to expand your experiences by volunteering on your own. Don't be afraid of getting involved! Your contributions make a difference to the Duluth community! Reach out to your faculty advisor for more information on possible volunteer opportunities.
Conferences & Networking Events
Students can attend and/or present at campus, state, national or international conferences for a range of professional organizations. They also have the option to attend job and grad school fairs. Opportunities will be shared with students via email and social media. Contact your faculty advisor for more information about these opportunities.
