Identity and Career Resources
We are committed to providing all SPHHS students with the tools necessary for professional success and hope you will find these identity-related resources useful and informative. We understand that identity is intersectional and complex and that any list of resources might feel incomplete. Suggestions from students, staff or faculty are always welcome and may be emailed to meliseno [at] umass [dot] edu (meliseno[at]umass[dot]edu)
