BUS, Spring 2024

This program provided space to learn about and engage with the city and people of Baltimore through experiences. It is cohort-based and very community-focused. The "Resident Coordinator" position functions as an RA and serves as a bridge between the program staff and the students in the cohort. The BUS staff is caring, attentive, and gracious. The semester went by very quickly, in large part because the BUS program includes both classes and an internship at a local organization. I was able to intern at a wonderful organization that has shaped me in unique ways. Overall, this program is a great way to get introduced to public health and how it intersects with urban contexts and Christian faith especially in Baltimore.
