The School of Public and Population Health and Eta Sigma Gamma are partnering to host the annual Meet and Greet networking event from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday, November 6 in the Student Union Building Simplot Ballroom. The event welcomes all Boise State University students and aims to connect students with local healthcare organizations and community health-focused initiatives.
This event will offer students a chance to network with more than 30 organizations — from clinical practices to community organizations and local non-profits looking to fill internships, volunteer and job openings.
Eta Sigma Gamma (ESG), Boise State’s health education student club, aims to engage future health professionals in this year’s event. For Master of Public Health student and ESG President President Mary Bolarinwa, working to plan the Meet and Greet means she gets to help open up career opportunities for her peers.
“I’ve really enjoyed being part of creating an event that supports student growth and helps make the day meaningful for everyone who attends,” Bolarinwa said.
Participating organizations include: St. Luke’s Health System, Camp Rainbow Gold, Central District Health, the Idaho Association of Free and Charitable Clinics, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Idaho, Genesis Community Health and many more.
For Master of Public Health student and ESG Treasurer Jasmine Ducusin, connecting with a wide variety of community organizations at the Meet and Greet is a highlight of the annual event.
“Through those conversations, the Meet & Greet has helped me expand my network and opened doors to internships, volunteer opportunities and career advice,” Ducusin said.
Attendees are encouraged to wear business casual attire and come prepared to introduce themselves to organizations they are interested in connecting with. This is an opportunity for students to connect with organizations, faculty and their peers, win swag and enjoy free food!
