UC Merced National Public Health Week is an annual multi-year project dedicated to the respective awareness week hosted by the American Public Health Association every year in April. This project addresses the importance of Public Health and promotes this both nationally and locally. To bring this week to the Central Valley, Public Health Society at UC Merced has officially partnered with the University of California, Merced and the American Public Health Association. During this event, students at the University of California, Merced will be able to take part in each day with tabling activities, community service opportunities, virtual infographics, and an opportunity to present health-related research at both undergraduate and graduate level. This event is not just limited to Public Health students; it is open to all majors, faculty and staff members.

UC Merced National Public Health Week will enable individuals at the university to learn at-hand Public Health issues and have an introspective experience to understand the discipline and take part of this week.

Monday, April 3rd from 10:00am-2:00pm at Scholars Lane will be the kick off of National Public Health Week with this day centered around community. This will be a tabling event in collaboration with the Community Engagement Center for on-campus organizations/clubs and community partners to engage students in small activities to learn about what a community is. Tabling sign-ups will be out shortly on https://www.instagram.com/phs_ucm
