New York Medical College SHSP Student Selected to Serve as a National Ambassador for Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH)
Abbie Montgomery Steger, M.P.H., Class of 2025, was selected to be an ambassador for the 2024-2025 cohort of the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH) ‘This is Public Health’ program.
Being a part of the largest cohort yet, Steger will be responsible for promoting the organization and encouraging others to pursue careers in public health. Ambassadors are
tasked with sharing information with their networks about public health as a field of study, assisting ASPPH with their mission, participating in social media takeovers, and designing and implementing a project within their communities to generate interest in public health programs and careers.
“I’m honored to be representing New York Medical College (NYMC) in the current cohort,” says Steger who is in the epidemiology program. “I am most excited about the ongoing opportunities to connect with other students from all over the country, who are passionate about improving health outcomes through their studies and careers.”
Prior to NYMC, Steger earned her master’s degree in health communication and worked in communications for several years, designing and implementing programs for clients in the pharmaceutical, biotech, and consumer product industries. She also worked for a major sports league on health-related programming for players in the league.
Steger is currently dedicated to leveraging her background in health communications and her studies at the College to become a well-rounded public health professional. “I realized that despite my experience and education, I did not know how to analyze data to the extent I wanted to. As a future public health practitioner, I want to ensure that I can explain the story that the numbers tell.”
Like Abbie, you can inspire change as a public health leader. For more information about the graduate public health programs offered in the School of Health Sciences and Practice at New York Medical College, contact the SHSP Office of Admissions, or visit nymc.edu/shsp

CT State Receives Insight Into Diversity 2024 Higher Education Excellence In Diversity (HEED) Award
Connecticut State Community College (CT State) received the 2024 Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) Award on Oct. 3 from Insight Into Diversity magazine, a national honor recognizing U.S. colleges and universities that demonstrate an outstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion
CT State was among 16 community colleges and 113 other higher education institutions nationally selected as recipients of the award.
“We are deeply honored to receive this award, a recognition that reflects our unwavering commitment to fostering an inclusive and equitable learning environment,” said CT State President O. John Maduko, M.D. “This achievement celebrates the collective efforts of our faculty, staff and students in championing diversity and empowering all voices within our community.”
Insight Into Diversity selected CT State for demonstrating a commitment to diversity, campus climate and inclusivity initiatives, training activities, the formation of affinity groups, diversity in leadership, campus cultural events, and hiring practices that have led to a 79 percent increase in faculty and staff of color.
“The HEED Award process consists of a comprehensive and rigorous application that includes questions relating to the recruitment and retention of students and employees — and best practices for both — leadership support for diversity, campus culture and climate, supplier diversity, and many other aspects of campus diversity and inclusion,” said Lenore Pearlstein, publisher of Insight Into Diversity magazine, the oldest and largest diversity-focused publication in higher education. “We take a detailed approach to reviewing each application in deciding who will be named a HEED Award recipient. Our standards are high, and we look for institutions where diversity and inclusion are woven into the work being done every day across their campus.”
As a recipient of the annual HEED Award, CT State will be featured, along with other recipients, in the November/December 2024 issue of Insight Into Diversity magazine.
