Student Life in HMP

The HMP student body is one of the top groups of young professionals, comparable to leading schools of business, medicine and law.  They work together and play together (see photo albums), and are motivated, friendly, intelligent, and sociable. Many of the students participate in professional and social activities sponsored by student organizations including:

• Public Health Student Association (PHSA)
• Michigan Healthcare Executive Student Association (MHESA)
• H-Net
• La Salud Student Association
• Public Health Students of African Descent (PHSAD)
• Public Health Genetics Society
• the Health Law Society
• Asian- American Public Health Student Association (AAPHA)
• Ross School of Business Healthcare Club
  
• the Women's Health Student Collective
• Health Policy Student Association

Professional events include lectures, symposiums, and brown bag discussion sessions on topics of interest to students and faculty.  Social activities include dinner dances, happy hours, bowling nights, karaoke, and intramural sports.  In addition, Ann Arbor and nearby Detroit offer a multitude of cultural, social, and sporting events.

Several HMP students participate in local and national conferences, such as those sponsored by the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) and the American Public Health Association (APHA).  In addition, the department and the School of Public Health host several guest speakers and symposia throughout the year.  Please refer to the School of Public Health calendar for information about upcoming events.

Volunteerism

HMP students are committed to serving the local, national, and international communities.  Many students engage in volunteer activities, such as working at Ann Arbor's Lyn Hadley Memorial Clinic for the Homeless, participating in elementary school health education programs, and organizing food and clothing drives for victims of natural disasters or poverty.

Student Support Services

Students are supported by the HMP Department's Student Services as well as the Office of Academic Affairs, Office of Financial Aid, Rackam Graduate School, and Career Services.
