Interaction Magazine Fall/Winter 2013
Welcome to the Fall/Winter 2013 edition of the School of Public Health's magazine, Interaction. It is an exciting time for the School of Public Health. We seated our 18th entering class of students this fall, including our largest ever class of Master of Public Health students. In early 2014, we are slated to move into a renovated Nesbitt Hall on Drexel's University City campus. And in February 2014, Ana Diez Roux begins as Dean of the School of Public Health. This issue also looks at the work of several alumni, faculty and students, many of whom traveled abroad to improve the health of communities in The Gambia, Ethiopia, Mongolia, Israel and Haiti.
We hope you enjoy the Interaction.
