A cornerstone of our strategy for the 21st century is to be a global university. The School of Public Health is a critical partner in this endeavor, and I am pleased to report that it has never been stronger or more vibrant. As president of the University, this obviously pleases me. As a citizen of the world, it fills me with hope, for I know that advances in public health at Yale will have a direct impact on human health, particularly of the world’s most vulnerable individuals and populations.
With the generous support of two Yale College alumni, the School has embarked upon an ambitious plan to raise funds to support students, expand existing research, and develop new programs. This could not come at a better time for the School or for those that it serves locally, nationally, and internationally.
When the Yale School of Public Health was created in 1915, it was one of the first institutions to train Americans in the new science of public health. The School’s founder, C.-E.A. Winslow, said that public health’s mission was “to enable every citizen to realize his birthright of health and longevity.” Our capacity to achieve that mission grows daily. With your help, we can achieve Dr. Winslow’s vision.
