When we ask our students what they need most, the answer is clear: They want to know that their Boston University education will lead to a fulfilling life and a successful career. That’s why we’ve launched an initiative focused on career readiness. It’s called Students in Action, and you can help bring it to life.
Students in Action at SPH
At the School of Public Health, the Generation Health Fund provides essential support that helps make student practica accessible to all.
“In class, to complete a homework assignment or problems, we’re often given an already clean dataset. In real-world data, you have to learn to clean and figure out how to perfect the data analysis once you run it, so that’s another challenge,” says Jenna Zabroski, (SPH’26), whose practicum in Romania last summer involved conducting geospatial analysis on the incidence of tuberculosis. “And it’s not that I didn’t expect it, but it definitely helped me to learn to clean data in different ways using different software.”
Your generosity can make a real difference to SPH students while they’re here. Now, your support for field practicum can help make a difference for the rest of their lives.
