Alumni Talk with Aria Grabowski
Dear students,
Based on feedback from the GH Concentrator's meeting last week, the Department is seeking out more opportunities for alumni to share their experiences with current students. We are fortunate to have BUSPH alumna Aria Grabowski on campus the beginning of December and she will be offering a discussion titled, “When losing track means losing lives: accountability lessons from the Ebola crisis”. After presenting her current work, she will open the floor for questions and discussion on her path from SPH student to professional in the field.
Please join us on Monday, December 7 from 1-2pm in CT - 305 to hear from Aria.
Most recently Aria worked with ONE campaign http://www.one.org/us/ on Ebola initiatives. Read about her work here.
