State Health Department Offers Public Health Summer Internship Program
Undergraduate Students Must Apply by March 26, 2010

ALBANY, N.Y. (Thursday, March 11, 2010) – The New York State Department of Health is now accepting applications for the 2010 Public Health Works! Undergraduate Internship Program. The eight-week program, which introduces college student interns to the field of public health, will run from June through August 2010. Applications are due March 26.

Up to nine undergraduate students will be selected for summer internship positions in environmental health programs in state and designated county health departments, and at the Wadsworth Center Laboratories in Albany. In addition to gaining valuable, hands-on public health experience, interns will receive a $3,000 stipend for their work. All applicants must have completed some coursework in the natural sciences or public health.

The New York State Health Department was one of 10 agencies selected by the Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH) and the Association of Public Health to receive a grant from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for the undergraduate internship program. The grant is part of the ASPH's "Pathways to Public Health" initiative, which was developed as a way for young people to learn more about public health education and careers.

"Creating a strong public health workforce is essential to meeting many of the health challenges we face, from combating the growing obesity problem to preventing outbreaks of diseases like H1N1 flu," State Health Commissioner Richard F. Daines, M.D., said. "These undergraduate internships will give students an opportunity to learn firsthand about public health careers, while also helping public health agencies deliver vital services."

The program introduces undergraduate students to the public health application of science, and bolsters efforts to recruit a new generation of public health employees. Interns will work in environmental health programs at state or local health departments, shadowing public health engineers, research scientists and sanitarians as they inspect restaurants, camps and swimming pools; regulate the water supply; and conduct research. Interns at the Wadsworth Center Laboratories will choose from rotations in a range of reference and testing laboratories that handle infectious diseases, genetics, public health preparedness, and environmental monitoring.

Information on how to apply is available on the State Health Department's web site at http://www.nyhealth.gov/prevention/public_health_works/.

The Summer Venture in Management Program (SVMP) is a week of HBS instruction that exposes high-potential college students in the summer between their junior and senior year to the HBS MBA experience and the variety of opportunities a degree in management can afford. Participants from diverse backgrounds spend the week on campus living the MBA student experience - attending classes, analyzing case studies, and debating management issues with peers and faculty.

 This unique educational experience, in combination with a summer internship at a sponsoring company or organization, gives participants a broader understanding of the challenges business leaders face, the innumerable opportunities that exist in management, and the impact they can have on their community and the world through leadership.

 The application for the 2010 Summer Venture in Management Program is now available online. In order to attend, a completed application is due May 17, 2010 at 5:00pm EST (Boston time). The program will take place from June 19-25, 2010.

Consistent with the objective of promoting educational diversity and opportunity in business leadership, criteria considered among others, are whether the applicant is:

• the first family member to attend college;
• a member of a group that is currently underrepresented in business schools and corporate America (e.g. African-American, Latino, Native American, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender);
• from a family with little business education or experience;
• from a school whose graduates are sometimes underrepresented (e.g. attends a community college as part of a four-year degree or attends a predominately minority college.).

Post-Baccalaureate Internship Program

" The AIDS Health Project began its Post-Baccalaureate Internship Program in 1991 with short-term internships for college students. Today, as a one-year program, it has become an integral part of the agency’s structure and is designed to target college graduates who have an interest in the health professions, social services, or non-profit management.

This one-year program helps AHP not only to better manage the volume of high quality services we offer, but also to groom future mental health, social service, and public health providers with expertise in HIV care. It provides interns the opportunity to give back to the community while learning valuable skills and fostering professional growth. Past interns have gone on to enjoy successful careers in medicine, psychology, public health, social work, and public interest law.

Applications are due March 1, 2010 (early application is encouraged).

These are the facts about AHP, but they don’t begin to describe the experience in store for interns. We promise you will be challenged and enriched. Whether you are on the telephone screening clients or doing research for one of our publications, you will never forget how important your work is. And, among the more than 250 people associated with AHP, you will find some of the most expert, dedicated, caring and outrageously funny co-workers on the planet. We hope you will join them.

Post-Baccalaureate Internship Program Job Descriptions

Application and Application Procedure

Internship Facts and Figures

• Internships begin in July and last for one year.

• The work week for interns is 32 hours.

• Remuneration consists of an $900 per month housing stipend paid directly to each intern’s landlord. The bad press about the San Francisco housing market is, unfortunately, true. Housing is expensive, but $900 still buys a room in a shared flat or, with luck, a studio apartment. AHP can provide interns with a list of short-term housing providers that can help them find starter housing before they arrive.

• Most of our interns find part-time, paid employment that covers other living expenses and often leads to full-time work after their internship.

COLLEGE OF BEHAVIORAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCES

Summer Research Initiative to Increase Diversity

An Overview of the UMD Summer Research Initiative
The Summer Research Initiative was created in 1999 by the Office of the Dean in the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences (BSOS) and is supported by the Office of the Provost, the Graduate School, the Office of the Vice President for Research, the College, and a grant from the National Science Foundation (SBE-AGEP).  The goals of the program are to provide rising juniors and seniors an opportunity to increase their interest and learn about doctoral-level training, and provide basic research skills that can be applied in the social, behavioral and economic science fields.  The program has a special emphasis on population groups underrepresented in these fields (i.e., African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders).

Program Details
This 8-week program will be held on the University of Maryland, College Park campus from May 31 through July 23, 2010.  Students will be provided a meaningful research experience by working with a faculty mentor in one of our nine academic departments: African American Studies, Anthropology, Criminology & Criminal Justice, Economics, Geography, Government & Politics, Hearing & Speech Sciences, Psychology and Sociology.  We will also supplement their research experience with lectures, workshops, and networking opportunities.  

Students will be provided round-trip airfare, meals, room and board in University on-campus housing and a stipend of $2,700.

The University of Maryland, College Park is the flagship campus in the University of Maryland system and is home to first-class researchers and research facilities.  U.S. News & World Report ranks the University 18th among public universities.  According to the NSF, the University ranks 8th in awarding doctoral degrees in the social, behavioral and economic sciences to underrepresented ethnic minorities.

How to Apply
Basic eligibility requirements include (but are not limited to) junior or senior status by Fall 2010; U.S. citizen or permanent resident status; and a strong intent to immediately pursue a Ph.D. in the social, behavioral, and economic sciences upon completion of the Bachelors degree. We are especially interested in applications from students underrepresented in the social, behavioral, and economic sciences. The application deadline is February 12, 2010.
