Visit Accredited Schools of Public Health at the APHA Annual Meeting and Exposition






The Association of Schools of Public Health is organizing the second annual “Visit Day” during which prospective students and pre-health advisors are able to "Visit Accredited Schools of Public Health Day" at the APHA exhibit hall on Wednesday, October 29 at no cost. Last year’s event was a great hit and given the fabulous San Diego location, we hope this year’s event will be even more successful. The purpose of the event is to allow students interested in public health the unique opportunity to meet admissions staff from all CEPH accredited schools of public health at one convenient location. Please be sure to let your prospective students and any health advisors you know about this unique opportunity.

Attendees are asked to pre-register no later than Friday, October 17 at www.asph.org/visitday. The exhibit hall will be open on Wednesday, October 29 from 8:30 AM - 12 Noon. The CEPH accredited schools of public health will be located in two aisles reserved for ASPH member schools of public health. Each booth will receive a CEPH/ASPH banner and rope lights to attach around the perimeter of either the table or the background display. The aisles will have signage incorporating the theme “This is Public Health.”

Attendees will be greeted by students from the San Diego State University School of Public Health and will receive a packet of information about schools of public health. These packets will include a “This is Public Health” t-shirt, bingo cards instructing them to visit each of the schools of public health, and information about other booths in the exhibit hall they may wish to visit. Three panel sessions for advisors and students are scheduled for 9 AM, 10 AM and 11 AM and will be hosted by a variety of admissions officers from several schools of public health.

As a reminder, access to the exhibit center is open free-of-charge to all Visit Day pre-registered prospective applicants and advisors the morning of October 29th. The registration deadline for all Visit Day attendees is Friday, October 17. To register or to find out more, please visit www.asph.org/visitday.
