Maxwell Summer Student Research Projects

Prof. Smith applies most of the funds generated by the Brian and Jennifer Maxwell Endowed Chair in Public Health towards supporting student projects in collaboration with his international research on child health among Mayan Indians in highland Guatemala. Students must produce a report of their research activities. Below are reports from previous years.
