The images and captions depicted the diversity of perspectives on public health including environmental and social determinants of health. Prizes were awarded to the top three winners:

  • First Place: Anne Doughtie, MD, MPH program
  • Second Place: Camila Aramburu, MPH program
  • Third Place: Trinidad Jackson, MS, MPH, Senior Program Coordinator, Office of Public Health Practice

Thanks to the other photo contest contributors, including these talented and passionate MPH students: Courtney Bloomer, Caroline Foley, Honey Issac, Dustin Mitchell-Scott, Allyson Palmer, RN, and Matt Rhodes, MPH program

All images will be on display on the Lower Level of the SPHIS building beginning April 20.

Before a child is born, every mother commits to provide the best for her baby, to nurture their baby’s mind and development, to give them the most perfect nutrition available, and to protect them from childhood infections, cancer, and death. So why do so many women choose not to breastfeed?

Protesting for 20/20 Vision

Are YOU a part of the protected class?

Elements that contain, or evoke distorted concepts of an equitable America are disruptions to society’s 20/20 vision for social justice…we CANNOT allow them to move forward. We see headlights, but they’re blinding us…they must be turned off! We see police, but SOME stand united in terroristic behavior…they must be held accountable!
