Meet the Dean
“We believe in our students. They come from diverse backgrounds, from cities and towns, from rural communities, tribal communities, and border communities. We teach them the knowledge and skills that give them the power of public health. Our graduates use those skills to improve the health of communities, to become public health leaders, and make the world a better place. I am so proud of them.”
