The New Jersey Public Health Association (NJPHA) - Rutgers Student Chapter seeks
to advance and support the cause of public health within the Rutgers
community and throughout New Jersey. We host lectures, seminars, and
panel discussions to educate students and create a bridge to public
health professionals, and offer mentorship, internship, and networking
opportunities with the NJPHA professional network. The organization also
hosts awareness events on campus and in the surrounding community and
hands out contraceptives, pamphlets, and healthy food as we strive to
educate the community on how to utilize resources and options.
We are
actively involved in Rutgers events such as Winter Wishes and Rutgers
Day and also work consistently with community partners in New Brunswick
including Dina's Dwellings, Unity Square, and the Robert Wood Johnson
University Hospital. Ultimately, our goal is to educate students and
support future leaders in the field, functioning as an organization to
benefit all future health professionals at Rutgers University.
