Are you interested in public health journalism? The Public Health Advocate is an undergraduate public health publication. We are dedicated to educating the public about current public health topics, and we provide students an opportunity to publish their work in our print issue or our online platform. Students interested in joining our publication have the option of enrolling in our two-unit DeCal, Advocates for Public Health, or joining our club. Each semester students will write two complete articles and learn about effective public health journalism. Class is held via zoom, and attendance is mandatory with two excused absences allowed.

Applications are now open at https://pha.berkeley.edu/join/ and are due on Friday, January 29.

Students interested in enrolling must fill out the DeCal application. Generally, all students who apply are accepted into the DeCal. Applications are due Friday, January 29 at 11:59 pm. We will send course information by Sunday, January 31, and the first day of class is scheduled for Tuesday, February 2nd, 6:30 - 8:00 pm.
