Orientation 2024: New students encouraged to engage across differences
Briefly

"To succeed in public health—and in many other things in life—you need to invest in your strengths. And you need to lean on your community," Baccarelli told students, emphasizing the importance of community engagement and self-investment in pursuing a career in public health. He further noted that engaging in difficult conversations is crucial, encouraging students to embrace diversity and unity for a common cause.
"I'm confident that you'll find that there is tremendous strength in our diversity. That no matter our differences, we are all here because we share one fundamental belief: that every human being deserves health, dignity, and justice," Baccarelli stated during his welcoming remarks, laying the groundwork for a community oriented towards inclusivity and shared values.
During the session on foundations of public health, Sue Goldie engaged students with critical insights into public health principles and highlighted the importance of a strong academic foundation as they embark on their careers.
A workshop led by Erin Driver-Linn aimed at fostering discussions for learning and engaging across differences signified the School's commitment to preparing students for meaningful dialogues, essential in today's diverse Health landscape.
