To everyone who joined us at our homecoming celebration – thank you! We were so pleased to see you all in person, bring our MEZCOPH community together, and celebrate the accomplishments of our amazing award recipients.
We were very pleased to see so many of our alumni, faculty, students, staff, supporters, and their families at our Homecoming Celebration on Wednesday, November 1, at the Arizona Inn. We came together to connect and honor our 2023 Alumni and Community Leaders Award Winners!
Our Homecoming brought us together to affirm our community and our public health mission. We were all inspired by the stories of our alumni and community award winners who have done so much to advance public health for diverse communities. Thank you to everyone who has supported the college and their essential work in improving public health in Arizona and beyond!
