We were delighted to connect with alumni, faculty, staff, students, and supporters at our annual Homecoming Celebration where we honored our public health alumni and leadership award winners.
Thanks to everyone who joined our 2024 Homecoming Celebration! We were so pleased to see you all in person, bring our MEZCOPH community together, and celebrate the accomplishments of our amazing award recipients.
This year our “2024 Homecoming Celebration: Honoring Our Public Health Alumni and Achievement Award Winners” event took place on Thursday, October 17 in the Health Sciences Innovation Building (HSIB).
The 2024 Homecoming brought us together to affirm our community and our public health mission. We were all inspired by the stories of our alumni and achievement award winners who have done so much to advance public health for diverse communities. Thank you to everyone who has supported the college and our essential work to improve public health locally, nationally, and globally!
