BS Environmental Health Students Selected for NEHA Internship

BS Environmental Health students, Caitlin Taylor and Elijah Wood, were selected for the National Environmental Public Health Internship Program (NEPHIP) for the class of 2017. The National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) administers NEPHIP with funding from CDC Environmental Health Services Branch. Caitlin has been matched at the Tennessee Department of Health in Nashville, TN, while Elijah has been matched at Leonardtown, MD.  Each of them will be awarded a stipend of $4,000 to complete a 10-week internship this summer, with an additional travel stipend of up to, but not exceeding, $2,000.  The purpose of NEPHIP is to encourage environmental health students to consider careers at local, state, or tribal environmental public health departments following graduation.
