Dear Colleagues and Friends,
Below please find information about M.S. and Ph.D. programs in my department of Health Education and Behavior at the University of Florida. Our department has a strong focus on the addictions with several faculty working in this area. In general, UF is an outstanding environment to study the addictions given the presence of investigators in the Center for Addiction Research and Education (CARE), the Southern HIV and Alcohol Research Consortium (SHARC) and other outstanding resources. Please note that there are opportunities for highly qualified and interested prospective Ph.D. students to visit our department, including our College’s graduate student research day on November 4th. UF and the Department of Health Education and behavior are committed to recruiting talented students, particularly those from underrepresented minority groups. We would greatly appreciate it if you would be willing to spread the word to talented undergraduates and research assistants who are interested in graduate education related to health education, health behavior and/or public health. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. Thank you very much for your consideration.
Best Wishes,
Rob Leeman
