What an incredible evening celebrating the GW Public Health community in Denver, Colorado!

In conjunction with our Health Systems Analysis immersion, which brought a cohort of our Master of Health Administration (MHA) and Master of Public Health (MPH) students to Denver, we hosted our first-ever community gathering in the Mile High City!

It was a wonderful evening of connection, conversation, and community, bringing together alumni, current students, faculty, leadership, and community partners from across the Denver area.

We were especially grateful to have Dean Gebo and Professor Friedman join us for this special evening and help strengthen the connections that make our community so meaningful.

One of the greatest strengths of public health is the people behind it. Events like this remind us that our community extends far beyond Washington, DC, and that the relationships we build through education, collaboration, and shared purpose continue long after graduation.

Thank you to everyone who joined! We are excited to continue building connections, strengthening partnerships, and engaging with the GW Public Health community across the country and around the world!

MPH candidate Ben Davies spent this past summer working on message development at the American Society of Hematology for his practicum. Ben encourages other MPH students to keep an open mind and leverage GW's network when looking for a practicum experience; he had found this opportunity through an online search and was then able to connect with someone within the GW network to learn more. Ben also encourages students to try to find a practicum with an in-person element; in this hybrid position, Ben enjoyed going into the office, meeting the team, and learning about others' work.

Amazing conversations at the 16th Annual Southby Lecture!

We were honored to host a fireside chat with Francis S. Collins, moderated by our own Professor Manya Magnus. Collins shared a wealth of experience and knowledge to our students. He served as the 16th director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and his tenure is the longest in the agency’s history. As a physician-geneticist he lead projects that have had broad impact such as, the Human Genome Project.

Public Health strategies do focus on the population, but they affect every individual and Collins reminded us of the importance of keeping in mind the nuanced needs of individuals.

"If you want to have a healthy population the best way to do that is to think of the members of that population as individuals," said Collins.
