The important work of public health cannot exist without a genuine commitment to culture and community. At our School we make that commitment to each other and to our community.
"My biggest advice is don’t be afraid to do new things... Take on leadership opportunities...pursue fellowship opportunities or become the president of a club. It will solidify the skills you have and help you grow as a person and professionally." - Tamika Rowe-Maloney, MPH ‘18
Getting involved in a leadership opportunity can be a great way to get involved at Drexel Dornsife while developing skills and contributing to the field of public health.
Leadership at Drexel Dornsife isn't limited to formal roles. Opportunities to lead arise from participating in journal clubs, collaborating with peers on projects and events like the annual case competition, and taking the initiative to make a positive impact in any setting.
