Student Networking Session ~ My Accidental Public Health Career

Don’t miss the PHCI student networking session, My Accidental Public Health Career, sponsored by Des Moines University. The pandemic has caused us to change up our normal ways of working, so we’re changing up this popular event, as well. This year, we’ve invited guests who are leaders in their fields, but whose careers or career paths are not typical when we think of public health professionals. 

Join us for the PHCI student networking sessions and hear from:

• Mike Armstrong, Director of Planning and Communications Street Collective
  

• Brian Finely, Creator of Twitter account IA Vaccine Alerts

• Tony Leys, DM Register Health Reporter

• Tinika Roland, Community Health Worker Educator & community advocate

• Beth Skinner, Director, Iowa Department of Corrections

• Kelly Wells Sittig, Executive Director of Iowa Cancer Consortium

They’ll share their career paths, how their current work intersects with public health, and their post-pandemic vision of partnering for public health. Students, speakers, and session attendees will have multiple opportunities for informal networking during the 90-minute session. As a bonus to attending the session, IPHA and IEHA are offering to make an introduction to a public health professional following the conference for 1:1 networking.

Register today! A separate Zoom invitation will be sent prior to the event.
