Why should I be interested?

UJPH’s seeks to ensure undergraduates specifically are recognized for their hard work and dedication to research and literature in public health. Future employers and graduate schools value publication of your research and evidence of scientific inquiry skills (attested by previous writers)!

Fellow students from universities across the nation, faculty members, deans, and administrators read the journal.
