Since its inception in 1982, the School of Public Health Alumni Society has worked to serve alumni and students, promote excellence in programs, and advance public health efforts in our community and in the world. The society’s first elected board of directors convened in September 1983. The board has been active for more than 30 years with a mission to build an alumni-centered culture within the SPH community by fostering connections among alumni, faculty, and students.
