We are excited to see you all at the 2024 On-Campus Summer Visit on the Berkeley campus! Your time with us will be a combination of community-building activities, academic and career advising, program and anti-racism workshops, opportunities to meet with faculty, and social events. We will be hosting all these events at our Berkeley Public Health building, Berkeley Way West .

We understand there could be challenges with visas and specific vaccine mandate details. We will actively monitor this and communicate directly with you about travel and public health issues.

Global Health Fellows:   please reach out to your Program Manager if you have any questions about your Summer Visit plans or completing your residency requirement in Summer 2024.

We look forward to seeing you this summer!

First Year On-Campus Summer Visit

For all students enrolled in PHW200E HPM Breadth

• Course dates: May 13 – June 30, 2024
• Schedule (Subject to Change)

* All 1st Year Students: there will be an optional reception on the evening of Monday, June 24.  Required sessions for non-RHI scholars will begin on the morning of Tuesday, June 25.

* RHI Scholars: RHI scholars will have required programming starting on the morning of Monday, June 24.  Stay tuned for more details.

Second Year On-Campus Summer Visit

For all students enrolled in PHW289 Interdisciplinary Seminar

• (Oski Session 1) Tuesday, May 28 – Sunday, June 2, 2024
• (Fiat Lux Session 2) Saturday, June 1 – Thursday, June 6, 2024

Attendance Requirements

Attendance at both On-Campus Summer Visits (1st-year, as part of W200E, and 2nd-year, as part of W289) fulfills the residency requirement of the OOMP H program.  The residency requirement must be satisfied in order to graduate.  Due to COVID mitigation efforts, the program pivoted to a remote modality for Summer Visits in 2020 and 2021 and the on-campus residency requirement was waived for the portions that were completed remotely.

For Summer 2022 and beyond, there is no mechanism available to be able to make up for missed days of either Summer Visit and the sessions are structured in a way that doesn’t allow for a hybrid or remote/asynchronous option.

If you think or already know you will not be able to attend the on-campus visit this Summer, please reach out to your Faculty Advisor or Program Manager to discuss how to map your courses and on-campus visit for the following or subsequent Summer.

Attendance Issues Due to Covid or Reasons Out of Student Control

For students who make a concerted effort to attend the On-Campus Summer Visit but are delayed or unable to attend for reasons out of their control, the program will work with the students to satisfy the residency requirement without delaying their expected graduation term.  For example, if a student who makes travel arrangements to come to Berkeley but tests positive for Covid in the preceding days or while on campus, there will be no expectation for that student to return to campus for the same visit in a subsequent Summer.

With the public health situation still fluid, we will work with campus leadership to provide updated information relevant to the On-Campus Summer Visit, including testing an d vaccination requirements.  We will be as flexible as possible in addressing student concerns and will work with each student on a case-by-case basis for attendance issues outside of a student’s control.

Students who are unable to attend the On-Campus Summer Visit for reasons out of their control should contact their program manager as early as possible.

A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism

During recent decades, new scientific evidence from many scientific disciplines such as cosmology, physics, biology, “artificial intelligence” research, and others have caused scientists to begin questioning Darwinism’s central tenet of natural selection and studying the evidence supporting it in greater detail.

Yet public TV programs, educational policy statements, and science textbooks have asserted that Darwin’s theory of evolution fully explains the complexity of living things. The public has been assured that all known evidence supports Darwinism and that virtually every scientist in the world believes the theory to be true.

The scientists on this list dispute the first claim and stand as living testimony in contradiction to the second. Since Discovery Institute launched this list in 2001, hundreds of scientists have courageously stepped forward to sign their names.

The list is growing and includes scientists from the US National Academy of Sciences, Russian, Hungarian and Czech National Academies, as well as from universities such as Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and others.

A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism “We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged.”

“There is scientific dissent from Darwinism. It deserves to be heard.”
