What Rollins Means to Students Like You

“There’s a lot of opportunities to work with the community, and at Rollins, it's just not siloed to the School of Public Health…. Students have the chance to work with the School of Medicine, Grady Memorial Hospital, or community organizations like Planned Parenthood. You can get involved in a lot of different ways, and if you ask fellow students or faculty members, they’ll help you connect to the right people.”

“My goal is to make the most out of all the resources available to me now so I will be able to develop into a highly competent public health professional equipped with the skills to contribute significantly in terms of policy formulation and health systems transformation in Ghana. I want to go back to Ghana and help communities. I want to make things better.”

“It’s incredible how many opportunities there are for students to get involved with the CDC. I don’t know many people who get to say that they get to study things like leprosy and anthrax as a 22-year-old in their first year of grad school…It feels really special to get to work in this female-forward leadership environment.”
