- PHGSA activities include: planning and leading the new student orientation each fall semester, participating in campus wellness events, and engaging in other service learning activities that promote health.
- Public health graduate students are elected each year for the positions of president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer.
- Associate Professor Kathleen Brown serves as faculty adviser of the PHGSA.
