Morgan Johnson, ECU MS Environmental Health (MSEH) student, got accepted for the 2024 Summer NEPHIP/NEHA internship. She will be working virtually at the Minnesota Department of Health. The primary project she will be involved in would be to develop educational materials for focused populations with regard to private wells and to participate in related research.

The National Environmental Public Health Internship Program (NEPHIP) is a 400-hour paid internship opportunity that links environmental health undergraduate and graduate students with funded internship placements at qualified state, tribal, local, and territorial (STLT) environmental public health agencies. This initiative supports the establishment of qualified applicant pipelines to help meet current and future environmental health professional workforce needs across the nation and encourages environmental health students to consider careers in governmental environmental public health following graduation.

Congratulations, Morgan!
