BUS - Spring 2024

Baltimore Urban Studies is a unique, Christian-based program that focuses on public health and reconciliation. Since the first three weeks of the program are orientation, I was able to learn about the racial trauma of this historic city. I also visited all of the various internship site options and it was neat to see how organizations are working towards reconciliation. This program has helped me to see how public health can be connected to all careers through a faith based perspective. I interned at an urban forest that is actively being restored and it was so neat to be a part of the restoration process! The community at this program is amazing, and all staff are so supportive and caring. Coming to Baltimore has truly been one of the best experiences of my life!
