Get pumped for the first ever MBA-MPH mixer! The event will take place this Friday (Nov 19th) from 6-9pm.

The plan is to hang out at South until 9pm and later head over to either Main st or Busbys to keep the party going for those who are interested.

Professional Networking Event (POSTPONED!)

This workshop has been postponed until further notice.  Please let us know if you are still interested.

We have a professional workshop scheduled for this Saturday (11/13) at 12 – 4 pm at school (room TBD). Food will be provided.

Hopefully, this will be useful as we apply for jobs and internships and attend conferences. Based on the survey that you filled out, Neil Sehgal and Dr. Roby have developed a curriculum to help us with our:

1. Resume
2. Interviewing skills
3. Professional presence
4. Networking skills.

They’ve also invited some people to help out by giving pointers and suggestions based on their experiences. The guest speakers are experienced but younger (approx. 5 years post-grad) so hopefully their advice and words of wisdom will be more relevant to us students.

We need to find at least 10 people willing to go, so please sign up at the link below. It should be a great and fun event for us to attend.

HSSA Bruin Football Tailgate!

It’s time to bring out your blue and gold: Saturday 11/6 UCLA is playing Oregon State at 4pm and we want you there to tailgate and support our team!! Despite our football team’s less than stellar record, the Rose Bowl “parking lot” (it’s on a golf course) will be jam-packed with UCLA students and alums, which always makes for a phenomenal tailgate.
