S.O.A.P (Student Organizatin for Applied Public Health) seminars will be held at least every month during 1st-4th quarters. We try to arrange a diverse set of guest lecturers, representing a wide range of careers in public health (including state, federal, local, private and non-profit employers). Suggestions for guest speakers are very helpful and very welcome as we plan for 2005. If you know of a professional in the field of public health that you would like to hear speak at a S.O.A.P. seminar, please let us know!
