The American Public Health Association (APHA) is actively soliciting submissions for a special edition of their Student Assembly's newsletter, News & Views, and the deadline for submitting articles has recently been extended to June 6, 2008. Additional details about the opportunity appear below.

This may include essays, opinion articles, event/activity information, student perspectives, articles about your own student work, activism or research, etc. The word limit for submissions to this issue is 700 words.

You may also submit the types of submissions normally called for: pieces related to student/campus news, tips and announcements.

• Your name
• Your APHA membership ID#

And follow these guidelines:
