DGH Alumni Chats: "My MPH gave me more than just academic knowledge; it gave me a framework for compassionate, systems-level change."

Springtime at the UW is more than just cherry blossoms and baseball games. In the School of Public Health, it is also Career Month. While students have access to career development services throughout the year, the events and workshops available in April feature public health experts, including SPH alumni, allowing students to connect with them in group and individual settings. For the DGH Alumni Chats event, DGH alumni took the time to participate in 1:1 virtual chats with DGH MPH students to answer questions, reflect on how DGH prepared them for their jobs, and share some advice.
