HBHE student writes a Thank You to an HBHE Alum

This last summer, I was one of the lucky HBHE students to have a University of Michigan HBHE alum as my internship preceptor. I am so grateful for this experience and wanted to take this opportunity to share a bit about my internship with Nicole Adelman, the Executive Director of the Interfaith Hospitality Network at Alpha House. 

Glanz, Henry, Ramirez-Valles, Stokes come home to HBHE

Dr. Carla Stokes

Four UM HBHE doctoral alumni, who've made significant contributions to the field of public health, returned to SPH to share a bit of wisdom with current students at the day-long October 2nd Rackham Centennial Doctoral Alumni Lecture.

The event offered several ways for the alumni to connect back to HBHE students, from student mini-mentoring sessions, to semi-structured receptions, to the alumni's formal talks on how they got where they are now and what they wish they'd known along the way. 

What was their common message to HBHE students?

1. Don't be discouraged by a winding path to your career goals. 

2. 

   Dr. Jesus Ramirez-Valles

   HBHE faculty mentorship can be pivotal- keep those connections.

3. Our HBHE training is invaluable in non-profit, academic, and foundation work.

Students were inspired by this unique professional development opportunity and said the event gave them a sense of excitement and possibility to see such poignant examples of the many paths a successful HBHE career can take. They especially appreciated the practical advice each of the alumni offered.
