We are opening applications early for spring quarter to join PHSA!
All students in the Fielding School of Public Health are welcome to express interest and apply to either a committee or board position.
To apply to a committee: https://bit.ly/PHSACommittees
To apply to a board position: https://bit.ly/PHSABoard
See our Constitution for committee and board position descriptions!
This link leads to an always-open form for students to share ideas, questions, or concerns (outside of formal grievances) to be monitored by the PHSA board. We hope this will allow both PHSA and OSS to recognize issues that are impacting students at a broader scale and develop appropriate responses on an ongoing basis. Once we are back in-person, we will post flyers with a QR code to this form throughout the hallways of CHS for easy access.
Hi everyone! As we start Winter quarter, PHSA will start planning for this year’s student survey. We have worked with the Office of Student Services on summarizing key actions taken as a result of the 2020 and 2021 survey and focus groups. If you’d like more detail on past surveys, please see the attached slide decks from each year and reach out to phsa.fsph@gmail.com with any questions. We’ve also included a copy of the executive summary which was shared via email.

From the statement:
Echo Park Lake (EPL) has been home to many unhoused individuals for years. Mitch O’Farrell, District 13 City Councilman aims to change this through the heavily criticized CARE+ Clean Up that was reinstated by the LA City Council against CDC guidelines.
Sweeps displace and sever connections between the unhoused community and non-profits, making it more difficult to provide them services. Of the 15,000 Project Roomkey promised, only 2,261 rooms are operational and 1,724 rooms are occupied, not enough for those who are displaced (LA County COVID-19 Update).

PHSA holds general meetings twice per quarter. Check the Event Calendar to see when we’re meeting next! If you’d like to get involved with PHSA, please take a look at our PHSA Committees page.
Welcome to the new and improved PHSA website!
We hope that this website will serve as a useful resource for students to come and learn more about who is serving on the Executive Board, how they can get involved in different leadership positions, the various projects and missions that PHSA is currently working on, and the upcoming events, workshops, and programs within FSPH and beyond!
We are always brainstorming ways to make this website better – it will be a constant work in progress. Please let us know if you have any ideas on how we can improve the site and make it a more beneficial resource for YOU!
