SSB PROD

You are invited to learn about a unique internship/professional development month-long experience in London, England in May/June 2025.  Dr. Leslie Spencer will work with 15 students to develop and implement interactive and educational workshops and experiences in the areas of fitness, nutrition and stress management for youth ages 8 – 18 through an after-school program with an organization called Urban Promise UK that serves underserved youth and their families.  This is an affiliate of Urban Promise Camden, an organization familiar to many at our University.

If you will be completing your Senior Internship in Public Health & Wellness, Wellness Management or Nutrition in spring or summer of 2025, this experience will serve as 125 of your required 250 internship hours.  All other students will enroll in the 3-credit Independent Study in HES in the first summer session of 2025 and will invest 60 hours in preparing for and helping to deliver the program to the UP UK youth.

In addition to implementing the program, our month-long trip will include a weekend in Paris and a weekend in Edinburg, Scotland, along with visits to museums, cathedrals, theaters and other sites throughout London.  We will live together in an apartment-style dorm.  Our trip will be facilitated through EF Study Tours, an established provider of study abroad experiences for college students.
