Campus update for May 8, 2020
May 8, 2020
Dear students,
As COVID-19 continues, we've all seen that public health work and expertise is of the utmost importance.
No one is watching events unfold more closely than our public health majors (you could be one!), faculty and alumni in the field.
They see a need for improvement, and an opportunity.
