University of Southern California Summer Practicum
My name is Ana and I reside in San Pedro, CA. In 2005 I graduated from Mount St Mary′s College with a BS in Biological Sciences, then entered the USC Master of Public Health program in the Spring of 2007 where my emphasis was on Health Education and Promotion. I will receive my MPH degree in the summer of 2008.
My practicum placement is at the Southern California Environmental Health Science Center [SCEHSC] located at the USC Health Science Campus. I am in the Community Outreach and Education Program [COEP] office.

About Practicum Projects
Photos taken at Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach terminals were taken by Andrea Hricko [USC] while on tour of the APL Terminal with Dave Beeman [ILWU], and also by John Regas while participating on the Port Tours. Photos were assembled in the slideshow as part of the practicum project for USC Master of Public Health program.
The practicum projects revolve around the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, and consists of creating a website containing:
~ An overview glossary of terms related to longshore work at the ports along with pictures of machinery, transportation, and jobs
- See link above: Longshore Terms Glossary
~ Community resources linked through an interactive map (i.e. pertinent news stories and links to local organizations involved in air quality controls for communities living around port terminals across the United States)
- See link below: Top 20 Ports Interactive Map
~ Fact sheets summarizing regulations for machinery and goods movement related transportation from the California Air Resources Board and the Environmental Protection Agency
