ESO provides an organized student voice within the Department of Epidemiology and represents epidemiology students to the School of Public Health and the University. We are welcoming faces to new students and faculty, organizers of both social and professional development events, liaisons to the department for student concerns about policies or curricula, and responsible for maintaining the Epidemiology Student Room, a place for all students in the department to study and socialize.
