Join the University of Arizona Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health for a Graduate Information Session!
What is public health? Public health is all around us: in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the foods we eat. Many of the questions of our era involve public health. Are we living healthy lives? How does climate change affect health? Are children getting the nutrition they need to grow? And among the most pressing issues is whether communities have access to affordable, quality healthcare.
Public Health is interdisciplinary and has graduate students from many different majors!
Info sessions are held in Tucson, Phoenix, and online. These sessions are small, informal, and offer lots of time for questions. We hope to see you there!

Kalu Yala Internships is an 11-week skill-share and development trial-and-error laboratory for students in a variety of fields. Since Summer 2010, we've had interns from 16 countries, 44 states, and 130 colleges.
Kalu Yala <http://arizona.us7.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=d02ce653ff78467d92a1ca720&id=3bcc23c012&e=aece7dd294> is a sustainable community that will be built in the mountains about 45 minutes outside Panama City, Panama. Programs take place in 3 venues: creating the town's foundation in Kalu Yala; creating relationships in the neighboring town of San Miguel; and working on business logistics in Panama City.
Programs include:
· Agriculture and Animal Science based in Kalu Yala
· Biology based in Kalu Yala
· Business Development and Entrepreneurship based in Panama City
· Community Outreach and Education based in San Miguel
· Farm-to-Table Culinary Arts based in Kalu Yala
· Forestry based in Kalu Yala
· Heath and Wellness based in San Miguel
· Outdoor Recreation based in Kalu Yala
Interns are encouraged to come up with and implement their own semester project. Some interns choose to do solo projects while others work in groups to make their dream a reality. Along the way, our Program Directors are always happy to help them plan and lend a helping hand.
A few recent projects include:
- Designing and building an outdoor recreation park with low ropes course, hillside amphitheater, stage, putt-putt golf course, and volleyball court
- Multisite water testing followed by water purification feasibility study (both for Kalu Yala and the neighboring town of San Miguel which currently does not have potable water)
- Designing, planting and taking care of 2-acre permaculture farm with the aid of permaculture expert Stephen Brooks. See the video here <http://arizona.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=d02ce653ff78467d92a1ca720&id=719e554be7&e=aece7dd294> .
- Teaching English, art classes and after school sports and science clubs in 4 schools in rural Panama.
- Working with the local health facilities to host health seminars and bring in experts to the rural town of San Miguel
- Identification and database creation of native insects and plants
- All plans to host TEDx Adventure: The Jungle <http://arizona.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d02ce653ff78467d92a1ca720&id=fd80d096ef&e=aece7dd294> , an event for 150 TEDx license holders to be held at Kalu Yala in late December (alum are coming back as volunteers to put on the event as well!)
Working to build a truly sustainable community, Kalu Yala is based around culture, new urbanism architecture, organic food, wellness, recreation, education, preservation, and conservation of the natural environment. Kalu Yala is located in the rainforest highlands of Central Panama in a 7,000-acre valley that backs up to the Chagres National Park. The internship program allows students and young professionals to come to Panama and gain cultural exposure, work experience, and knowledge in order to create a project that will ultimately help shape this sustainable community.
2014 semester dates:
· Spring: January 13th- March 28th
· Summer: May 19th- August 1st
· Fall: September 1st- November 14th

I should mention that our staff is happy to assist students who wish to acquire academic credit and speaking Spanish is not required! We also can work with students on payment plans.
This year we've been written about in several school newspapers including University of Virginia, Clemson University, Arizona State University, Florida State University, University of Richmond, and Winona State University. You can find the links to these articles on our homepage.
Lastly, I'd like to invite you to our annual Professor Appreciation Weekend. Once you arrive in Panama, all accommodations, meals and ground transportation will be provided. It will be March 13-17th, 2014. I am happy to send a detailed itinerary upon request.
