KEMS RECIPIENT CAREY MITTERMEIER
Carey Mittermeier worked with FSD community partner Vikalp Sansthan in Udaipur, India to conduct surveys of adolescents in urban slum communities. These surveys assessed basic health needs and knowledge in relation to gender-based discrimination and violence,
and informed recommendations on ways for Vikalp to address public health knowledge gaps among adolescents in slum communities.
We are now accepting applications for Spring
programs (B Session) through January 1st, 2014.

CLASSROOMS AREN'T ONLY INDOORS: EXPAND YOUR WORLD!
"From
my perspective, development and health are two irreversibly codependent concepts. It is a classic chicken versus egg situation; lasting development cannot be attained without a degree of health and wellbeing. The reverse is also true. The FSD Katie Evans Memorial
Scholarship recognizes this reality by granting public
health students an opportunity to apply their skills to a development setting from a community-based and participatory perspective."
Carey Mittermeier, KEMS Recipient, Summer 2013
