Our Faculty

As educators and as scholars, our extraordinarily talented faculty provides the foundation for the intellectual growth that takes place at this School.

Passionate about teaching, our faculty members know how to bring the classroom alive. They are mentors as well, helping students design the class and field experiences that best serve their professional development. As researchers, they add to the body of knowledge that advances the public health. And with their hands-on service activities, they demonstrate a commitment to making contributions where they matter most.

The brief biographies here only hint at the skill, knowledge and real-world experience our faculty brings to its work. Building on their expertise, a dedication to involving students in their work and a willingness to reach across boundaries to collaborate, they are helping to create a healthier world.
