1. SOPHE Seeks a Few Good Interns!   
Attention students and faculty!  Are you looking for internship ideas in the areas of health education and health promotion?  Consider an Internship with the Society for Public Health Education!  At the only independent professional organization devoted exclusively to public health education and health promotion, SOPHE interns can expect the opportunity to work on a variety of projects and tasks pertinent to SOPHE's mission.  Among these are advocacy, program planning, communications planning/outreach, research, conference planning, fundraising, chapter development, administrative responsibilities/data entry.  Upon interviewing, a scope of work and activity is tailored to each intern's expertise and pertinent to SOPHE's needs.
