Public Health Spotlights
Ben's impactful art work in HPS 387
Ben is a Senior Biology student with an emphasis in Biomedical Sciences
"My painting was very impactful to work on as so much of its significance is tied directly to the burden Sickle Cell has placed on the African American community. This project revealed a lot to me about not only the condition but also health disparities in general.
As for my future Goals, I want to attend the U of A's medical school and pursue a career in surgery."
Public Health Ambassadors
Our MEZCOPH Public Health Ambassadors recently had the opportunity to attend the Basic Needs Benefit Dinner, where they represented the college and connected with campus partners. Throughout the evening, ambassadors learned about the amazing resources Campus Pantry and Campus Closet offer to our University community, enjoyed a delicious meal, and even participated in a silent auction with all funds going to the Basic Needs Center. The event was a great opportunity to engage with the community and show MEZCOPH’s commitment to supporting student well-being and needs.

Public Health Student
“I first started with only a minor, but after taking one Public Health course I fell in love with the field and its potential to improve the health and well-being at a population scale. Something I really appreciate about Public Health is the emphasis on interdisciplinary connections, integrating every aspect of a person's life to create a more holistic understanding of health.”
Priscilla Nguyen
