In addition to dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, Berkeley Public Health Graduate Commencement Speaker Noel Sergio Leon struggled with multiple life challenges during their time as a student. These all contributed to a mental health crisis and having to extend their MPH study by an additional year. But, the words of our Student Dean Quin Hussey and seeing the UC Berkeley campanile helped Leon internalize the UC Berkeley motto: Fiat Lux.
Here, we share a clip from their commencement speech with our community, hoping it will also help you find the light within yourselves.
Watch Leon's complete speech here: https://youtu.be/PxxXuXXQ7ts

Happy 75th, WHO! On 7 April 2023—World Health Day—the World Health Organization will observe its 75th anniversary.
In 1948, countries around the world came together and founded WHO to promote health, keep the world safe and serve the vulnerable—so everyone, everywhere can attain the highest level of health and well-being.
WHO’s 75th anniversary year is an opportunity to look back at public health successes that have improved quality of life during the last seven decades. It is also an opportunity to motivate action to tackle the health challenges of today ̶ and tomorrow.
