SPARTANS JOURNEY TOGETHER At Michigan State University, we take our charge seriously to improve the health of the communities in which we live, work, play, and worship. All our research, teaching, interventions, and health delivery engage our communities as crucial partners all along that path. This joint ownership allows for improved outcomes and health of the communities we serve. We invite everyone to join us in our efforts. We are advancing the health well-being of local and global communities by educating the next generation of public health professionals. Over the past 12 years, our Master of Public Health (MPH) program has been educating public health students online. In Flint, we lead public health with a community-engaged practice-oriented experience. We have produced more than 650 Spartan alumni that are working to mobilize change in meaningful ways. In February 2019, we submitted our application for accreditation to the Council on Education for Public Health. I honorably share that the MPH final self-study report has been mailed, and a site visit is scheduled for November following APHA. Thanks to our community partners, alumni, students, faculty, and staff that have been involved in our accreditation journey. We could not have gotten this far without your input. In Spartan Spirit,
