Social Justice & Public Health Special Interest Group (SIG)

The Social Justice & Public Health Special Interest Group (SIG) offers students a space to explore topics related to public health and the impact various factors have on the health of communities.

Get to know your peers, gain knowledge through thoughtful discussion, and engage with a range of perspectives. In addition, SIG provides students the opportunity to stay informed on important public health literature, learn more about research methodology and community health approaches, and consider key aspects of promoting health outcomes while fostering leadership skills.

Group Guidelines:

• Participation is voluntary (but highly encouraged for those who want to get the most from the experience)
• Be courageous, be curious, be kind and thoughtful.
• Listen to understand, not respond. Please be respectful to others.
• Keep confidentiality and don't tell others' stories.
• All should have the opportunity to participate in the discussion, so please be mindful and allow others to share their perspectives.
