2008 Diversity Celebration
You’re cordially invited to a night of creative performances, cultural art exhibits, worldly fashion, music, great food and so much more! Join U of A students, faculty, and staff as they strut their stuff for diversity!
The Public Health Student Alliance (PHSA) and the University of Arizona Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health are back to present the 3rd annual 2008 DIVERSITY CELEBRATION! This all began with the success of our 1st annual 2006 event, formerly known as the CULTURAL DIVERSITY FASHION SHOW, which was one of the events put on by public health student groups to help win the Peter Likins Inclusive Excellence award for 2006-2007. You’re invited to come see the University of Arizona's students, faculty, and staff model their chique cultural identities on the catwalk, and cultural exhibit of donated art and items. A diverse array of food and entertainment and giveaways add to the evening, creating an atmosphere thriving on acceptance and awareness of global cultures and population diversity.
The show will be held in the plaza under the Drachman Hall Walkway (the Walkway of Wellness) at the University of Arizona on Friday October 10, 2008. (For those of you “mapquesters” out there, the address is: 1295 N. Martin Ave. Tucson, Arizona 85724). The plaza opens at 5:30 p.m. and the event begins at 6:00 p.m. Parking on the U of A campus is available free of charge after 5:00 p.m. Admissions are $3.00 for U of A students and children under 6 years of age; and $5.00 for general admissions. Stay tuned for more info!
About the Public Health Student Alliance (PHSA)
The Public Health Student Alliance is the chief student organization of The University of Arizona Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health (MEZCOPH). Established in 1997 by a group of committed Master of Public Health (MPH) students, the initial charge of PHSA was to advocate for public health issues and to promote networking of students who work or wish to work in the field of public health.
Since it began, PHSA has matured and expanded its scope of interest and activities to include participation in civic health promotion events, social events, intramural sports and service projects. In addition to fundraisers, students have organized technical assistance workshops, advocacy training, and a student-to-student mentorship program. Although officers are elected each year, the group has chosen to govern itself in a nonhierarchical fashion, giving each officer a programmatic area to oversee and sharing the task of meeting management.
The PHSA is open to all students within the university who are interested in public health.
