Public Health Advisory Board

The Public Health Advisory Board for the Department of Public Health is established to provide support to the mission, vision, and core values of the University, College of Health and Human Sciences, and Department of Public Health and to assist the Department in addressing issues which are vital to the future success and quality of the MPH program and the field of Public Health. The Advisory Board is made up of public health members representing various sectors including, but not limited to, state, local, tribal public health, or other health agencies.
