In 2007 PHSA students held a Diversity Fashion Show as part of their Diversity Celebration.  Students Ada Dieke and Lubna Shaikh are shown above in ethnic apparel. 

The Public Health Student Alliance (PHSA) is the chief student organization of The University of Arizona Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health (MEZCOPH). Established in 1997 by a group of committed Master of Public Health (MPH) students, the initial charge of PHSA was to advocate for public health issues and to promote networking of students who work or wish to work in the field of public health. 

Since it began, PHSA has matured and expanded its scope of interest and activities to include participation in civic health promotion events, social events, intramural sports and service projects.  In addition to fundraisers, students have organized technical assistance workshops, advocacy training, and a student-to-student mentorship program.  Although officers are elected each year, the group has chosen to govern itself in a nonhierarchical fashion, giving each officer a programmatic area to oversee and sharing the task of meeting management.

The PHSA is open to all students within the university who are interested in public health.
