Our public health students have completed a range of internships in public health, with some resulting in full-time job offers.
Two of our seniors completed their internships at the same organization in fall 2022. They learned a lot about access to affordable, quality, and culturally sensitive health care.
Giovana and Sandy interned with Center for Healing and Hope. A local organization focused on immigration advocacy and affordable healthcare for the uninsured.
Here are some photos of our seniors who completed their internships in Fall 2021.

In this photo, we are working with the mini-grant program as part of the Elkhart county child dashboard. The mini-grants allow people to apply for a money grant to help push ideas or programs that they would like to do but they may not have the money to get started. In this photo we are delivering a mini-grant to Goshen High school. They are developing a program that is called the Reset area. In this area, they are giving students and faculty a placed where they can take some time out of the classroom when they are feeling overwhelmed or just need a minute away from everything. The goal with this program is to help improve the attendance rate of the students especially with the amount of students who have been struggling to get back to school since the pandemic.
With a degree in public health from Goshen College, you’ll be prepared to work in any number of health settings. Here are just some of the possible career paths for you:
