Global Public Health Initiatives

Published on October 15, 2024

Throughout its history, the College of Public Health has collaborated with partners around the world to strengthen public health. From road safety research in Romania to service learning in Mexico and maternal health interventions in Kenya—to name just a few examples—students and faculty have engaged in international research, internships, service learning, and coursework.

The college also welcomes numerous international visitors—both virtually and in-person—to speak on a variety of global health topics each year.

This map highlights a sampling of the college’s past and present initiatives in locations around the world.
