Practice Plunge

The Practice Plunge is an opportunity for incoming SPH students to step outside the classroom and into public health practice. Held during Academic Preview week, students participating in the Practice Plunge in 2006 and 2007 have visited public health agencies and organizations in Detroit.

The Practice Plunge gives students the opportunity to:

  1. Meet leaders in local public health
  2. Learn about public health issues within the City
  3. Learn about programs and solutions used to address public health issues
  4. Roll up your sleeves to work on a community health project

This event is open to incoming SPH students only. Information about the 2008 Practice Plunge will be available in the spring. Questions about the event may be sent to PracticePlunge@umich.edu.
