Â鶹ÊÓƵ

Message from the Dean

As the fall semester begins, we again feel the excitement in the air that comes with students, faculty and staff on campus and in our online programs. I want to personally welcome students to Â鶹ÊÓƵ, whether you’re with us in person or a remote student. We are here to provide the best experience possible.

In this issue you will read about our alumni and how they are taking the knowledge and experience gained at CPH to make an impact in their communities. I’m so proud of every one of you and your resilience. You will also meet a new faculty member, Dr. Tianyuan Guan, whom we welcomed to the CPH family this summer. In this newsletter, you will read about innovative research and new partnerships, accelerated degree pathways, Â鶹ÊÓƵ Homecoming events and more.

With your support, we will continue to live our mission—to prepare leaders, scientists, and practitioners to collaborate with community partners to conduct impactful research and practice to solve public health challenges. Thank you for all you do to advance public health in our communities.

Yours in good health,

Dean, College of Public Health
