Hana Alicic, a Public Health major graduating this June, leads a project to address the health needs of the homeless.

A member of the UW's Health Equity Circle, Hana will spend part of her summer conducting a "listening campaign" to gather research on the residents of the Seattle area's tent cities. The aim is to find out about barriers to health and experiences with health care.

By the end of the summer, Hana hopes the Health Equity Circle can begin a campaign to address some of the major problems. She is looking for volunteers to help conduct the surveys – a small, part-time commitment.

"For undergraduates, this is a really good way of putting your public health knowledge into practice, and learning to respectfully interact with communities," she says.
