Students Celebrate National Public Health Week

University of San Francisco students in the Bachelor of Science in Public Health (BSPH) and Master of Public Health (MPH) programs celebrated National Public Health Week with a series of health education and promotion infographics researched and created under the guidance of Professor L'Engle.

Infographic that says ‘Making healthy food accessible for SF residents. Healthy eating habits can help you live longer and feel better.’

Our public health students engaged in a dynamic reflection on the remarkable progress of the past 30 years while charting the path forward. Their infographics analyzed the most significant lessons learned, emerging challenges such as climate change and misinformation, and the actions that will influence the future of public health.

Each day during Public Health Week, students shared their infographics via Instagram.
