Congratulations to 2009 Wilbur and Eloise Cohen Award winner Melissa King for her professional report, "NGO's and the Role of Civic Engagement in Promoting Efficient HIV/AIDS Programming in Rural Africa."
Congratulations also to recent graduate Victor Melt Campos for being selected for a Partners In Health Institute for Health and Social Justice (IHSJ) internship program last summer. At PIH, Victor worked on the Latin American and Caribbean Initiative for the Integration of Prenatal Care with Testing and Treatment of HIV and Syphilis project. He focused his research on the perinatal and neonatal clinical history form aspect. Victor aspires to continue working in global health and social justice and hopes to contribute to population-based medicine, especially for underserved communities.

Professional Reports
Students have written many good professional reports focusing on health and social policy issues. For a listing of the most recent reports with links to their abstracts (as available), visit our professional reports page. Older reports (before 2006) are archived.
Student Organizations
The LBJ School boasts 17 student organizations, including Social, Health and Economic Policymakers, or SHEP. SHEP takes a broad view of social policy to include health, education, economics, and other policy issues that are inter-related and have significant societal impact.
Recognized by the Graduate Public Affairs Council in April 2007 and by the university in October 2007, SHEP members will collaborate with CHASP to expand networking and other opportunities for students focusing on social issues.
