The Office of Education would like to collect blog posts, photos, and brief narratives of student field experiences to share with the school community and other stakeholders.
Thank you in advance for sharing your field experiences. We welcome your suggestions for ways to share these valuable student experiences! Review guidance and submit writing and photos here.
Photos and writing may be used for as a blog post, in an online or print photo gallery, shared at an event, included in presentations with prospective host organizations and students, or combined with other media. Photo and writing credits will be included.
Writing
Student blog posts or other writing can be an excellent way to highlight the public health issue you are working on, while also building your own portfolio of thought leadership in the field.
Please visit the Guidelines page for details and how to submit your work.
Photos
Please take photographs while you are traveling to illustrate your experience as well as the impact and submit them here. Photographs that work well include:
- Student and preceptor: Candid shots, action shots, and posed shots
- Student and host organization colleagues: Candid shots, action shots, and posed shots. Note that photos of students with their preceptors and local colleagues are always well-received by host organizations and are a nice “thank you”!
- Student “doing the work” with local individuals (if applicable). Please be especially mindful and respectful with this type of photography; always ask permission, and be sure the person understands your intent and explicitly agrees. See media release information below.
- Student in the field: These photographs show the unique context of your location. Signage, scenery, etc.
- Close-ups and color: Consider photographing things that are particularly colorful or close up for some variety in your photographs. These can often be more impactful than a photo with many people or things in it.
- Media Releases: Photos that do not have media releases can only be used within the school, and not for an external audience. We strongly prefer to have media releases so that there is more opportunity to share your work externally. Note that Communications can also accept a release that is given verbally and videotaped. This may be the most practical way for you to get a media release in some circumstances. Below are the photo and video release forms for adults and for minors.
