NPHW is an annual, weeklong event recognizing the contributions of public health and educating people about public health.

Each day, a public health issue that is important to improving the health of this nation will be highlighted.

Here at SJSU, we use the week as an opportunity to bring together students and professionals. Our goal is to support career exploration through the sharing of career and professional journeys.
