Dr. Karen Hacker (right) in conversation with Dean Megan L. Ranney
Dean Megan L. Ranney’s Leaders in Public Health Speaker Series showcases real-world leaders and provides students and others an opportunity to learn about different career trajectories, how important public health decisions are made, and what lies ahead for the future of public health.
Students got an inside look at how decisions are made at the top of the public health pyramid on September 30, when Dr. Karen Hacker, MD, MPH, BA ’77, director of the CDC’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Promotion, visited the school for an hour-long discussion with Ranney.
Another recent speaker, Dr. José Bauermeister, PhD, MPH, the founding faculty director of the Eidos LGBTQ+ Health Initiative at the University of Pennsylvania, discussed LGBTQ+ health, systems-level interventions, and community engagement on October 23.
