SPH undergraduates bring energy to health equity

Among the fun and games at Boris' Block Party - the close to this year's School of Public Health Welcome Week - we caught up with some SPH undergraduates to hear why they chose to study public health and what they hope to do and be in the future! Many of our undergraduates are keenly aware of inequities within our public health systems and plan to use what they learn here at UMD to improve the lives of people in communities outside of their classrooms.

Spotlight on Vonai Moyo '13

Vonai Moyo '13 knew her dual passions from the start— as a child she dreamed of becoming a pediatrician and since the first grade she devoted herself to gymnastics.  At UMD’s School of Public Health (SPH) she nurtured these two loves and transformed them into two dynamic careers: working as a physician assistant (PA) and as a rookie member of the renowned New England Patriots

The School of Public Health (SPH) Dean's Undergraduate Student Council, or DUSAC comprises student representatives from each SPH academic department, athletics, and Student Government Association (SGA). The expressed goal of the conglomerate is to facilitate trasnparency and communication between SPH students and administration to optimize the academic environment.

Joanne Pérodin: From Haiti to the White House and beyond

By the time she began her studies in kinesiology in 2001 at UMD’s School of Public Health, she had already lived through the tumult of political violence in her home city of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, along with the increasingly disastrous effects of extreme weather events on Haiti’s environment and population.
