Health Administration Student Association (HASA)

HASA Application

In July 2009, The University of Southern Mississippi approved the formation of the Health Administration Student Association (HASA).  This student-driven association will provide its members with professional networking opportunities, career planning, and workshops & presentations by healthcare administrators from local, state and national level health care organizations.

 Any Southern Miss undergraduate or graduate student with an interest in health administration is encouraged to join; however, we strongly encourage students in the following programs to become a HASA member:

•  Undergraduate and Traditional MPH students in the Health Policy and Administration emphasis area;
•  Executive MPH students;
•  Any Public Health undergraduate and/or graduate students who are interested in health administration; and
•  Any University of Southern Mississippi students in the areas of business, marketing or other related fields. 

 

Currently, HASA has over 60 members from undergraduate and graduate programs in a variety of degree programs in the university.

Recent events, workshops and presentations include:
