UNC Summer Public Health Fellowship Program 2011
June 5, 2011
Dear 2011 Fellows: I am thrilled to welcome you to the Summer Public Health Fellowship Program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC SPHF) and what promises to be an amazing experience! I designed this program to immerse you in an eight-week exploration of rewarding and impactful careers, with public health as the focal point. This summer, I, program staff and our community of partners challenge you to: Ask questions, as they will lead to knowledge and understanding; Work hard, as your efforts will lead to valuable lessons and triumphs; Allow yourself to grow and change, as doing so will lead you closer to your aspirations; And, have fun! In return, we promise to do the same. Our communities are in need of bright, energetic and highly motivated leaders who want to change the world for the better and are well-equipped to do so. I hope that this summer inspires you to pursue a public health profession (via UNC, of course) and that the knowledge, connections and community gained from this program will help you achieve your goals. We look forward to helping you start to change the world for the better! I forward to partnering with you so that you can have the best possible experience in this program. Sincerely,
Felicia Mebane, Ph.D., M.S.P.H. Director, UNC SPHF Assistant Dean for Student Affairs Clinical Assistant Professor, Health Policy and Management (with contributions from Ms. Candice Powell, MEd)

UNC Summer Public Health Fellowship Program 2011
The UNC Summer Public Health Fellowship Program Empowering students to pursue public health Background Dr. Felicia Mebane, Assistant Dean for Students at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, created the UNC Summer Public Health Fellowship Program (UNC SPHF) to help level the playing field for bright and motivated minority and disadvantaged students who are exploring careers in public health. Inspired by the School’s mission to train a diverse cadre of public health professionals and her own summer program experiences, UNC SPHF is the School’s first large-scale summer program. UNC SPHF is designed to feature the disciplines represented by all of the School’s departments and serve as a cornerstone for department-specific summer programs, such as the Biostatistics Summer Undergraduate Research Education program (BSURE). Purpose UNC SPHF aims to help increase the diversity of the public health professions by sharing with students (primarily) from minority and disadvantaged communities the knowledge, connections and skills that can help them successfully pursue public health careers. Fellows who complete this program will:
Learn about core concepts and issues across public health disciplines Develop and apply a full range of job searching skills and materials Practice effective communication skills Reflect on personal goals, values and beliefs and how they influence career choices Establish online and leadership identities Network with world-class public health academics and professionals Build a professional community of peers and mentors Develop an understanding of what it takes to succeed as a public health professional Apply lessons learned via a service learning project with a public health organization Have fun!
The Village Dr. Barbara K. Rimer, Dean, UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, encouraged the School’s Office of Student Affairs to be as creative and supportive of the Fellows as possible. Consequently, Dr. Mebane, Ms. Amy Hitlin and Mr. Jeffrey Simms (Assistant Directors for Professional Development) and Ms. Nicole Chenault (parttime Assistant Director for Operations) have enlisted a cadre of top-notch students, professors, staff, alumni and public health organizations to provide the workshops, service learning placements, extracurricular activities and support that comprise this program. Funding The 2011 UNC SPHF Program is funded, in part, by the Health Resources and Services Administration via a grant to the UNC Health Careers Opportunity Program (UNC HCOP). Mr. Larry Keith, former leader of the UNC HCOP grant, graciously agreed to add this program to their grant proposal in 2008 and worked with Dr. Mebane to add the public health components. This year, Dr. Mebane secured additional funding via the Partnership Program, a collaboration between UNC’s Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and Gillings School of Global Public Health and North Carolina Central University. In addition, the UNC Provost’s Office provided some funding as well as a grant to Tougaloo College that supports two of their students.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? … Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do... It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.‖ — Marianne Williamson
