The HES Experience
The HES Experience
One of my favorite things about being in the HES program is the sense of community. The HES cohort is a vital support system as I matriculate through the MPH program here at Brown. Whether I am having an issue with a course or just want to hang out, I have the HES cohort to be there for me.
