On April 7th, our MPH students came together for an evening of reflection, connection, and real-world public health learning.
The night included a Student Advisory Session with faculty, followed by a discussion of SHUFFLE, a documentary exploring addiction treatment fraud, health system accountability, and the impact of policy on vulnerable communities. Students also had the chance to speak directly with the film’s producer and ask important questions about ethics and systems change.

Big thanks to our MPH Graduate Assistants for hosting a great Munch & Mingle 😄
Students enjoyed lunch, icebreakers, and conversations about today’s most pressing public health issues. They also had the opportunity to talk about their aspirations, explore research career paths, and outline their next steps in their academic journey.
