By Ted Miles, MPH<\/strong><\/p>\n

The experience of attending APHA the first time is often mixed, though I think I really got what I came for this year. After attending the opening session with Isabel Wilkerson and it reminding me of exactly why I was interested in public health from the beginning, my motivation going forward was higher than ever.<\/p>\n

While the speakers, business meetings, and poster sessions I went to provided enlightening information for my field of interest, my favorite part was by far the networking opportunities. I think these left me with the largest feelings of accomplishment as I could see the relationships I forge in meetings like this being important in my future career. I was even able to meet old friends from past lives, allowing me to tend to those connections that have gotten me to this point in my career.<\/p>\n

In summary, the opportunity to tend to my network, while building it out was very invigorating and the conference as a whole provided a motivating force just before the semester ended, which hopefully will keep me going until next year in Chicago!<\/p>\n
