Two of our MPH students Yera Sureshbhai Patel and Sharon Goh recently volunteered at the 2026 ASPPH Annual Meeting, supporting sessions on workforce resilience and ethical AI use in public health.
💡Yera highlights how the opening plenary session featuring leaders like Dr. Tom Frieden, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, Dr. Celine Gounder, and Brinleigh Murphy-Reuter—emphasized the power of message framing and trust in reaching communities.
💡Sharon reflects on the importance of adaptable leadership and the recognition of public health as an essential, ever-present field.
Both were especially inspired by closing remarks from Reverend Shavon Arline-Bradley, reinforcing their commitment to impactful communication and leadership in the field.
A special thank you to for providing this meaningful volunteer opportunity and creating space for students to engage, learn, and lead!
