Location: Iribe Center, Michael Antonov Auditorium, UMD campus
The 2025 School of Public Health Convocation will explore public health at the crossroads of history, exploring the Constitution, U.S. Public Health Service, and lessons from the Ebola Crisis a decade later. This evening begins with a screening of “Invisible Corps.” This powerful 30-minute PBS documentary uncovers the story behind the U.S. Public Health Service. The film will be followed by a discussion moderated by SPH Dean Boris Lushniak – himself a former Acting Surgeon General and retired Rear Admiral of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps – and leading voices in the field Rear Admiral (Ret) Scott Giberson and Lieutenant Commander Jennie Eng. This event aims to engage and unite students and members of our campus community in conversation with experts and peers, creating an exciting space to discover unexpected perspectives.
