In this month’s Dean’s Letter, I continue to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the Dornsife School of Public Health Class of 2025. On June 12, we proudly celebrated the graduates at Commencement in the Miller Theatre located in the heart of Philadelphia.
Throughout their time at Dornsife, these graduates demonstrated unwavering dedication, resilience, and a deep passion for advancing health equity and social justice.
Equipped with the knowledge, skills, and experience to confront today’s most urgent public health challenges, they now step into the world ready to make meaningful change. Whether continuing their education or beginning their careers, they carry forward a commitment to evidence-based solutions and community impact. We look forward to seeing all they accomplish in the years to come.
