SPH AT APHA 2025
From panel sessions and poster presentations to a night celebrating the accomplishments of alumni and friends, the SPH community gathered in Washington DC for the American Public Health Association Annual Meeting & Expo.
A host of SPH faculty, students, staff, and alumni were among the more than 12,000 public health experts who attended the Annual American Public Health Association Conference in Washington DC on November 2-5.
This year’s theme, “Making the Public’s Health a National Priority,” aimed to reinforce the message that public health efforts to prevent disease are “more cost effective—and humane—than treating chronic health conditions” and that now is the time to “prepare for the next pandemic, improve data collection to track and analyze diseases, conduct research on effective prevention and treatment methods and enact policies that promote better health for all people in all communities.”
Dean Hyder welcomed visitors to the SPH booth, which helped remind all of the School’s impending historica anniversary.
