Voices
Student Voices
Hear directly from our students about learning, research, and life in the MPH program--what surprised them, what challenged them, and what helped them grow.
Some ways to build the student voices section:
1) "3 quotes + quick profile"
Show 3-6 short testimonials in cards. Each card includes:
- Quote (1-3 sentences)
- Name (or initials), cohort year
- Background (e.g., MD, nurse, social science, data)
- Focus area (e.g., Epidemiology, Health Policy, Environmental Health)
2) "Day in the life" mini-stories (more immersive)
Feature 2 students with a short paragraph each:
- What they studied before
- What they're researching now
- What a typical week looks like
- One "surprise" or learning moment
3. "Before → During → After" outcomes format
Ask students to answer the same 3 prompts:
- Before MPH, I was...
- In the MPH, I learned...
- After graduation, I plan to...
4) Short video
One 60-90 second video (phone quality is fine) with captions + 2 pull quotes underneath.
Example "prompt questions" to collect real student voices
We can send these to students as a short google forms:
- Why did you choose this MPH program?
- What has been the most valuable skill you gained so far?
- How has supervision/research group experience been?
- What's one course or assignment that changed how you think?
- What is it like being an international student (if applicable)?
- What advice would you give to incoming students?
