Last fall, with the permission of APHA,  we launched a free registration process for any prospective applicants wishing to visit the exhibit hall on the last day to meet with the schools of public health.  Many of you reported that traffic on this normally slow day was quite brisk.  In fact, over 400 prospective students showed up!  This year, APHA has agreed to repeat this opportunity and we will be working hard to promote this fantastic opportunity.   Registration materials will be available by early summer.

There will also be a few additions at the exhibit hall which you may like to know about:   APHA will also allow us to host a panel session on applying to schools of public health on Wednesday morning in the exhibit hall.  More details to come!   Also new this year – as most of you know, this year, two aisles at APHA will be dedicated to CEPH accredited schools of public health.  This will present a branding opportunity for SPH to differentiate themselves from unaccredited programs.  The ASPH staff is working hard to come up with some ideas on how to drive traffic into our aisles – they have no shame in what they will do, so be prepared for some creative ideas!
