Many Reconnect at the APHA 2023 Annual Meeting in Atlanta

2023 APHA Reception guests

Alumni, students, faculty and staff all came together to share stories, reminisce, and reconnect at the college’s reception during the APHA’s 2023 annual meeting in Atlanta.


This year, the American Public Health Association (APHA) held its 2023 annual meeting in Atlanta, Georgia where thousands of public health professionals from all over the world gathered to share their stories and strategies. Among them many MEZCOPH students, staff, and faculty attended to give presentations and network. The college hosted a booth in the main expo hall that attracted hundreds of visitors. In addition, the college’s alumni reception at the Glenn Hotel SkyLounge was a great success, with many alumni and supporters in attendance alongside students, staff, and faculty. Everyone was delighted to reconnect and reminisce. Thanks to everyone who joined us!
