Elise Gahan considered Indiana University during her final
years of high school specifically because of the superior programs offered by
the School of Public Health and her interest in pursuing a degree in community
health. Although raised in Omaha, Nebraska Elisa now calls Bloomington home as
she earns her undergraduate degree in community health with minors in
mathematics and psychology.
After graduation, Elise intends to continue her education by
pursuing a graduate degree. “This semester has peaked my interest in
environmental health and its importance to many aspects of life, so I plan to
focus on environmental epidemiology in my graduate work,” she said.
In addition to her course work, Elise has taken advantage of
the many opportunities the School of Public Health has to offer, participating
in workshops on resume building and effective networking, as well as taking
part in a leadership class to further her personal development.
She has also served as a part of the SPH Student Ambassadors,
which has allowed her to serve the school, meet influential graduates, and
interact with faculty members.
“It is great to see how concerned faculty such as Dean
Torabi are with the wellbeing and interests of students at all levels. I
look forward to the upcoming years of my education and to becoming more
involved with all that the School of Public Health as to offer,” she noted.
