What is the SH101 Student Advisory Board internship?

• Student Health 101 is an online, monthly health and wellness program (magazine) distributed to more than 3 million college and university students in the US and Canada. SH101 is an international publication; each issue is customized for our client schools with their own logos and campus resources.
• We publish editions for US undergraduates, students at faith-based institutions, nontraditional students (community college and graduate school), and students at Canadian colleges and universities.
• All students on our board have a strong interest in health and wellness, especially issues affecting the college population. Our definition of wellness is broad: It includes budgeting, academic skills, relationships, sexual assault prevention, time management, spirituality, and more.
• Our student advisors are from diverse backgrounds and regions across the US and Canada. We are recruiting US undergraduates, Canadian undergraduates, and US community college and graduate school students.
• This is an unpaid, one-year commitment (June 2018-June 2019).
