CPHSA Semi-Formal!

Friday was the College of Public Health Student Association (CPHSA) Semi-Formal. I am pretty sure this is the first one that the College of Public Health (CPH) has had. They are very popular, especially amongst graduate programs, because it's a night where everyone can dress up and try not to talk about school or homework ;)

The event was held at a restaurant downtown Iowa City, called ATLAS. There theme is a world grill with a sophisticated taste. It was nice to be able to reconnect with some other CPH students that I had class with last year when I started the MPH program and also get to know some new faces from other departments. If you remember from previous blogs, I am a Masters of Public Health (MPH) in Policy, which is under the department of Health Management and Policy (HMP), which is under the CPH. The point is, that you don't always get to know the other MPH students, along with Ph.D and other Masters students in the College and other departments. All in all, very awesome time and hope that CPHSA continues to hold the event next year.

In addition, I can't believe February is already almost over, I hope those of you that are thinking of applying to graduate school have already started, even if not to Iowa. Hit me up with questions, cause I know I had a ton when deciding where to apply.

Ryan :)
