Announcing the New ‘Service’ Cord for GPPH!
Service – it’s a word that means different things to different people.

GPPH Volunteer Week Challenge, Winter 2017
UNE Online’s Graduate Programs in Public Health (GPPH) recently held our first Volunteer Week challenge!
Our goal was to encourage UNE students and public health professionals everywhere to facilitate meaningful community service activities with a public health focus.
The UNE GPPH community shared photos of how they gave back this season, and we created a special Facebook album, titled #uneonlinegivesback just for these photos. We were definitely inspired by what we received.
As an added bonus we proposed a contest to our GPPH students – a free textbook for the best photo submission. MPH student Jensen was the winner with her adorable photo volunteering for the Rescued n’ Ready Animal Foundation in Tulsa, OK.
