Summer 2021

A Message from the Dean

Sonia Alemagno

The COVID-19 vaccine has brought about positive changes, including loosening social distance and mask restrictions and bringing K-12 students back across the country. The vaccine made it possible to offer in-person, outdoor spring commencement ceremonies. I am grateful to public health professionals across the world that have made this progress possible. I want to acknowledge members of CPH faculty, staff and students that took part in the mass vaccination clinics at the Kent State Field House and continued COVID-19 testing. Status of summer and fall reopening continues to change so be sure to stay tuned to messages with news and updates on expanding in-person offerings this summer and fall.

Spring commencement welcomed 107 BSPH graduates, 37 MPH graduates and two MS graduates and one new PhD to the alumni ranks. In this issue you will read about more about our alumni organization and how they are hoping to bring together our now more than 2,000 alumni to make a difference for our current and future students.

I hope you enjoy catching up on CPH news through our e-newsletter. To be more connected to updates from the college, follow us on social media platforms linked at the bottom of the newsletter.

Thank you for your ongoing support of CPH students. Wishing you a safe and enjoyable summer. 

Yours in good health,

SONIA

Dean, College of Public Health
