About Public Health Practice & Global Engagement

Public Health Practice & Global Engagement

The School of Public Health launched a Global Public Health Initiative in 2011, which was named the Office of Global Public Health in 2014, to foster a collaborative and coordinated approach to global health research and activities across all the departments in the school. In 2026, the Office of Global Public Health was reorganized with the Office of Public Health Practice to form the Public Health Practice & Global Engagement team in the Office of Educational Programs at the School of Public Health.
