The Emerging Majority Affairs Committee (EMAC) of the Association
of Yale Alumni in Public Health is established as a standing committee
of the Board of Directors. |
Goal
To increase the representation and matriculation of individuals
of African and Latino/Hispanic descent and other under-represented groups
in the student body.
Mission
EMAC is committed to ensuring that the interests and impact of
the emerging majority are considered in all matters concerning the Yale School of Public Health (YSPH).
EMAC strives to meet its mission in two distinct ways:
-
Serving as the liaison between the YSPH alumni and the
school on such matters as student and faculty recruitment,
financial aid, social and academic support programs, and mentoring;
and
-
Serving as a vehicle for alumni networking with students and
other alumni.
Vision
EMAC envisions a future when members of the emerging majority of citizens in the United States who seek to enter the field of public health have such opportunities, a future where individuals of various racial and ethnic groups are active participants in the field of public health, a future where such individuals are valued members in conversations around public health awareness, education, disease and injury prevention, ending health disparities, promotion of mental and physical health, and access to effective immunizations, treatment, and supports. EMAC envisions a future where parity is represented on workforce development and where members of the emerging majority participate in research and policies that enhance living, working, learning, and full participation in all aspects of a healthy thriving community.
