School of Public Health Faculty
School of Public Health faculty are dedicated to student success. You are strongly encouraged to request a meeting with a faculty member(s) to discuss questions related to:
- Which concentration is right for your career goals
- Which electives are best suited to provide you with the necessary skills for your career goals
- Research interests and opportunities
- Networking/professional organizations
- Thesis/Capstone topics
You are not assigned a permanent faculty advisor, nor are you limited to approaching just one faculty member for mentorship. We encourage you to reach out to those whose research areas align with your interests and career goals.
