Graduate Intern Projects
Sleep Equity Project is an ideal place for passionate graduate students across various fields (Public Health, Social Work) who are seeking to expand their knowledge about a range of areas that include health literacy, public health, community interventions, informatics, and program development.
This page highlights the interns who have worked at the Sleep Equity Project to complete their degree requirements. Each intern has worked hard to learn about an array of issues related to sleep health disparities and sleep disorders, including the social determinants of health. This new knowledge was combined with their previous experience and coursework to complete a project. View a sample here of their engaging work.
