This trip is open to all majors but preference is given to Public Health students.
"The trip to Geneva really was a trip of a lifetime. I never thought that I could experience and learn so much in two short weeks. It was worth every penny and I just hope that every Public Health student has an opportunity to spend a little time in Geneva."
