Arnold School of Public Health

Giving

While we feel like we’ve helped the School of Public Health and the University, it has helped us more. And we feel like being able to be proud of the University is a critical part of giving.

Join us to improve public health, statewide and worldwide.

Public health is said to be one of the noblest professions in the world. Our educational, research and outreach efforts are all geared toward improving the health of diverse populations. Today, we face a broad expanse of public health challenges, but they are mirrored by opportunities to help reduce and eliminate these barriers and disparities. 

Whether your passion is for the health of Latino families, scholarships for students who study exercise science, cochlear implants for non-hearing children, food safety concerns, cancer prevention, or another aspect of public health, you can join us in our efforts to improve health among the various populations who need our help.
