51³Ô¹ÏÍø

Dear Alumni and Friends,

The College of Public Health at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø educates future public health leaders, scientists and scholars, creating a national impact on people and our community. The public health profession has contributed to significant gains in lifespan over the past 100 years and will continue to improve the overall health of our population with added contributions from our graduates.

Your gifts make it possible to advance our number one university priority—putting our students first in all that we do. The needs of our students and the field of public health are constantly evolving. Thanks to your generosity, we can continue to have the technology and expertise to provide both in-class and online academic offerings. Students can choose from six B.S.P.H. concentrations, four M.P.H. specializations, one M.S., and three Ph.D. specializations to expand or continue their passion for public health prevention.

As the 15th Anniversary of the College of Public Health at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø is rapidly approaching in 2025, I reflect on our many accomplishments in such a short and difficult time. The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted our lives and professions, and yet was a chance to create new opportunities. While navigating through unprecedented challenges, CPH  students, faculty, staff and alumni played a pivotal role in the pandemic response, among our communities and worldwide. Those incredible commitments and efforts at all levels were recognized by the Council for Education in Public Health (CEPH), who honored the College of Public Health with the full seven year re-accreditation through 2028. Please take a moment to visit our News section to learn more about some of our incredible student, faculty and alumni contributions.

I am honored and privileged to serve our students and  work alongside our dedicated faculty and staff. Your support means the world to our students. Thanks to the generosity of donors like you–who believe in our mission and inspire new opportunities–we will continue to make a difference in their lives. Together, we can shape a brighter and healthier future for generations to come.

With sincere gratitude,

Sonia Alemagno, Ph.D.
