A Week as a Student

Your 'Intro to Public Health' lecture this morning dives into global health disparities. You raise a question about a recent local health campaign's effectiveness, and Professor Davies nods, encouraging critical thinking. Afterwards, a study group helps untangle concepts from the assigned reading, *Health at the Margins*. A small setback occurs when you realize you missed a minor announcement on the course portal about an upcoming quiz. You quickly catch up. The evening ends with a campus gym session, clearing your head for the week ahead.
