New District member WashU School of Public Health marks milestones

The School of Public Health is accelerating its growth, with new faculty, staff and students joining its ranks, two locations now fully operational (including new research facilities at 4300 Duncan in Cortex) and core initiatives driving interdisciplinary collaboration and community impact. The school also is preparing for future milestones, including accreditation and the launch of a comprehensive strategic plan.

Sandro Galea, MD, DrPH, the Margaret C. Ryan Dean of the School of Public Health, the Eugene S. and Constance Kahn Distinguished Professor in Public Health and vice provost for interdisciplinary initiatives, officially began his tenure in January. He reflected on the school’s progress to date and the broader challenges facing public health.
