Today, I came across this new website called "edX" which provides online courses from prestigious schools all over the globe. This is something new to me because I've never taken an online course before, but after learning about it on a Public Health group on LinkedIn, I thought I would give it a shot. It turns out they have a myriad of online class subjects, from Statistics, Psychology, Natural Disasters (there's a class on that? who knew?!), to Representations of HIV/AIDS and Public Health initiatives!
Next Tuesday I will be walking at Baruch College's 49th Commencement and I'm so happy to be finally moving onto the next chapter of my life, but my thirst for knowledge doesn't stop just because I graduated. I have this insatiable appetite for learning about topics I didn't have the opportunity to learn about in Baruch, so I'm stoked about taking Public Health courses (finally!) to prepare myself for graduate school when I pursue my Master's Degree in Public Health.
I'm really appreciative that I found this nonprofit website because not only can I gain more experience learning about Public Health, but this also gives me the chance to learn from some of the most renowned professors from all over the world. So far, I signed up for online classes from Hong Kong University, Harvard, and UC Berkeley! This is just one of the steps I'm taking to further my education and life experience in order to pursue my dream of doing public health in the nonprofit sector in the future :D
