SPHHS Alumni Career Services
On October 25th, the GW Alumni House sent an email outlining the career and networking resources available to GW alumni. Because we realize that your needs might be a little more specific, we wanted to take a moment to remind you of the career services and resources available to SPHHS alumni from the School.
Career Services
The Office of Student Academic and Career Development Services has the following career services available to SPHHS Alumni:
- Career Counseling (in person or over the phone)
- Job Search Strategies (in person or over the phone)
- Cover Letter Review (in person or over the phone)
- Resume Review (in person or over the phone)
- Mock Interviews
To take advantage of these, please contact Mallory Boyd or Amir Jahansir.
Jobs Database
The SPHHS Jobs Database is a centralized resource for jobs, internships, and fellowships. The database is updated daily and jobs typically stay on for only a month. It is searchable by job type, keyword and free text.
Networking and Life-long Learning Opportunities
Above all else, the faculty members, your classmates and fellow alumni are your most valued resource. We invite you to take part in the networking and life-long learning opportunities that are available to you through the school.

Hearing the answers from someone who has been there, done that - AND is now a successful public health professional - is invaluable! Complete the Alumni Ambassador form and send it as an attachment to the Office of Alumni Relations.
- Refer prospective applicants to the Admissions Office so that they can learn more about our exciting undergraduate and graduate programs.

"I am honored to have the opportunity to return to Congress and continue fighting for policies that can strengthen America's economy, help America become energy independent, and make health care more affordable and more accessible for all Americans. Despite the great challenges facing our country today, I remain confident that this new Congress can enact policies that will make our nation stronger and more prosperous." Congressman Jason Altmire, MHSA '98
