Agents of Change in the Promotion of a Healthier Society

Agents of Change in the Promotion of a Healthier Society

Thursday, December 3, 2009

Welcome !

Many graduate students come into their new programs without a clear concept of what they want to write their thesis topic on. In fact, just the thought of having to write a master's thesis has deterred many from entering a graduate program. Some graduate students don't even receive their master's degree because of this daunting task. But this will not be our case! We are Health Promotion graduate students in San Diego State University's Graduate School of Public Health. We are great motivators and agents of change in the promotion of a healthier society. As such, we will be motivating and supporting each other in our endeavors to complete our master's thesis.

This blog serves to be a resource to all Public Health graduate students, especially those with a concentration in Health Promotion. We will be exploring how to pick a thesis topic, how to conduct research, how to do a literature review, outlining the process of building your thesis committee, and many other topics that will equip you with all the necessary information to overpower and defeat the anxiety and elusiveness of writing a master's thesis. We hope that this site becomes a guiding light that helps many students through their thesis development, writing, and completion.

Thank you for visiting and please comment!

Hi Gina,
I liked your welcome message. I put the statement you made "agents of change in the promotion of a healthier society. " as the title of the photos I put at the top of the blog. I wish there was a way to put your welcome message at the beginning of a blog. Do you know how to do this?

I honestly don't know but I bet we can do it somehow.... I will ask some tech-savvy people I know. By the way, AWESOME JOB on the new look of the blog! I love it!! A quick thought I had on this issue though was probably trying to integrate that welcome message into the header of the blog... I could mess around with it if you want, but I am kind of scared of messing up your great work :).
