What does a day in the life of a College of Health student look like?

The College of Health truly values putting their students first and catering to student needs and wants. As a community, we’re able to build eachother up, adapt to emerging opportunities, and create the reputation of our college together. Here, we will be introducing just a few of the many students and what a typical “Day in their Life” may look like as a student in the College of Health. 

Meet Kareem Hargrove!

Kareem is a junior getting a dual degree in Population Health & Economics with a Biostatistics minor. “I chose the College of Health because of its commitments to community outreach, engagement, and development. I didn’t want to attend a university that only engaged in community service work but instead, actually collaborated with partners on issues. Additionally, all of the research and experiential learning opportunities the College offers are really attractive. I also wanted to explore healthcare decision-making from a provider point of view to address health equity issues in marginalized communities.” His favorite study spot is his desk in the computational uncertainty lab!

Meet Molly Smith! 

Molly is a sophomore majoring in Community & Global Health with minors in International Relations and Healthy, Policy, & Politics. “I chose the COH because it provides plentiful opportunities and experiences for students to further their knowledge in public health. The College’s partnership with the United Nations partnership interested me, and so did all of the amazing professors. Finally, the college gave me an opportunity to pursue a BA in the health field, which is not something many schools offer,” she said. Her favorite study spot is the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning. To get to know her better, check out Molly’s Day in the Life post!
