Subject: Harvard School of Public Health - PhD Program in Biological Sciences in Public Health

Dear Colleague:

I write to ask for your help in encouraging qualified students at your institution who might be interested in the Biological Sciences in Public Health (BPH) Ph.D. Program to attend the Fall Prospective Student Information Session hosted by the Harvard School of Public Health on Saturday, October 5th from 10:00am-12:00pm.

The BPH Program is an umbrella program comprising the departments of Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Genetics and Complex Diseases, Environmental Health and Nutrition. Graduate students in the BPH Program work in a highly stimulating, cross-disciplinary environment where they pursue studies aimed at solving important biological problems in public health. Ongoing projects involve deciphering the mechanistic basis of infectious diseases such as AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis, chronic and aging-related diseases such as obesity, diabetes and cancer, and environmental factors contributing to cancer and respiratory diseases like asthma.

All students admitted into this highly competitive training program are provided full tuition and stipend support. Our graduates have pursued successful careers in academia, industry and government, and presently hold distinguished positions in each of these arenas.

Prospective students who attend the Open House on October 5th will have the opportunity to meet and speak with faculty and current students from the BPH Program.

I would greatly appreciate it if you would post the enclosed flyer in a prominent place within your department and encourage your best students to join us on October 5th. A link for online registration can be found on the Harvard School of Public Health’s Admissions page:

Thank you in advance for your help.

Sincerely,
