Equity and justice

“The commitment to social justice, equity, and continued progress pulled me toward SPH, but the opportunities to push scientific literature beyond academia kept me there. In a time where equity and justice are hot topics, SPH demonstrates a commitment to improving the health and well-being of populations worldwide by working in the community and making knowledge accessible.”

Committed faculty

“The faculty at SPH is dually dedicated to teaching students and learning from them. Whether your expertise comes from academia or lived experience, your knowledge is respected and appreciated. Each classroom became a ring of thought exchange with an underlying understanding that every student, professor, and researcher wanted to improve the health of all people. Every conversation introduced a fresh perspective that informed how we interact with each other as public health practitioners and as a community of human beings.”

Find success at SPH

“I would tell prospective students to be welcoming to growth and community. Every opportunity offers challenges, but at SPH each challenge is paired with a collective of peers and faculty willing to support and encourage your development. Lean into the challenges and embrace the growth that they foster.”
