Networking Around Careers in Public Health

From John Snow Inc (JSI) in Rosslyn, VA.

DC Coffee & Conversation

Please join us for DC's first Coffee & Conversation on Thursday, October 25 from 2:00-3:30 pm. We have invited undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in pursuing a career in public health to visit our Rosslyn office, meet members of our teams, and learn about our domestic and international public health programs.

The Boston office launched the Coffee & Conversation series in 2015 to help students gain a better understanding of the tools, skills, and experience they need to pursue a career in public health. The event also provided a regular opportunity for Boston-based staff to engage with and identify talented undergraduate and graduate students for available positions. We're hoping to replicate their success in DC!

The event will consist of a panel of four JSI staff representing both the domestic and international divisions followed by a Q&A.
