Drexel University's Dornsife School of Public Health (DSPH) has published a new issue of Dornsife SPH Magazine.

Volume 24 focuses on ways that our school's faculty, students, staff, and alumni are working at a community level to address foundational causes of health inequities.

"Since our last issue, there has been much research growth and recognition of our school’s long track record of partnering with communities and organizations to improve the health of populations," writes Gina S. Lovasi, PhD, MPH, Dana and David Dornsife Dean, Dornsife School of Public Health, in her Dean's Message. "Our expertise in community-led, co-created research is reflected in the initiatives recently added to our school’s portfolio, which are featured in this issue."
