re-
search, and talented students to the Columbia Mailman School of Public Health. Donors ensure that the School is at the forefront, whether it’s tackling the climate crisis or COVID-19. “Public health is front and center these days,” says Dean Linda P. Fried, MD, MPH. “But when times are good, the public often forgets about the role our field plays in keeping us healthy and giving us a better quality of life. I’m grateful to our funders who never forget why we need to invest in public health.” Get to know some of our donors and you too will be inspired.
