A Welcome Message from the Dean

I would like to personally welcome you to the Tufts University Public Health community.

Current events have shone a light on public health and its potential monumental impact on individuals and populations. Health equity and social justice considerations only become more evident and heartbreaking as we live this chapter in our shared history.

In these challenging times I believe that public health expertise with the kind of social justice focus we practice at Tufts is more imperative than ever.
