The Alumni Mentorship Program
The School of Public Health Alumni Network is introducing the 2023 Alumni Mentorship Program. This program pairs current SPH students with an alumni mentor with a similar degree and career trajectory. Students meet with their mentor and talk about school, future plans, and career options. Mentors assist you with mock interviews, resume updates, and advice on interpersonal relationships. If you are interested and want to learn more, take a look at the 2023 Mentee Application.

The Tulane Health Policy Case Competition gives teams of undergraduate students an opportunity to apply their talents and knowledge to put together a solution to a given health policy program.

Full info and registration here: https://sph.tulane.edu/tuhpcc . Registration deadline is September 30, 2023
Teams of up to three undergraduate students create policy-based solutions to a given problem. A workshop will be provided shortly after the case is released. Teams will construct PowerPoint presentations on solutions to the problem. Finalists will present to a panel of judges for real-time feedback.
2023 Case Prompt
This case asks teams of undergraduate students to apply the lens of health policy analysis to the homelessness crisis in New Orleans. While some progress was made during the pandemic, recently the population without access to permanent, affordable housing has been increasing. In this scenario the city has set aside $50 million over 10 years to fund a comprehensive and sustainable solution. A good policy will leverage existing city infrastructure as appropriate and include detailed breakdowns of the costs of the policy package.
Award
Each member of the winning team will receive $1,000 in cash (as well as a $10,000 scholarship* to the Health Policy master's program at Tulane)
