On behalf of Hayslett Group and the Partner Up! for Public Health campaign, we would like to take a moment to recognize Katie Weiser, MPH, as a summer intern for the Partner Up! for Public Health campaign.
Partner Up! for Public Health, funded by Healthcare Georgia Foundation, is a statewide advocacy campaign designed to advance public health in Georgia.
We met Katie at the Georgia Public Health Association's 82nd Annual Meeting & Conference in April. She is a recent Masters of Public Health (MPH) graduate from the University of Georgia and we are thrilled to have her on board to help us advance public health in Georgia.
In addition to day-to-day responsibilities related to the campaign, Katie has specifically been tasked with locating and engaging academic and student communities in Georgia.
Most recently, Katie launched a Partner Up! Student Internship Program that is housed as a Student Portal on our campaign website. This initiative is designed to connect knowledgeable public health students with meaningful internships. Organizations are encouraged to post available internship opportunities and/or capstone project opportunities directly on the site.
A Video Contest is another way Katie is looking to engage student and academic communities. The Video Contest, scheduled to launch in the fall, will mirror the "This is Public Health" national campaign and will hopefully engage students at all nine public health schools across the state.
She is also working directly on several items with Michelle Putnam, MPH, executive director for HealthSTAT and Amanda Ptashkin, J.D., outreach and advocacy director for Georgians for a Healthy Future.
