Student representatives have full discussion and voting privileges with all academic matters except review of applications for admission.\u00a0To ensure MPH graduates are prepared to enter a competitive workforce, public health practitioners from various public health and health-related organizations are regularly invited to committee meetings to offer suggestions on skills, knowledge, and attitudes that MPH graduates should possess in today&#8217;s market.
