Thank You to Our Generous Donors

As we commemorate 25 years of the College of Public Health, we want to express our heartfelt appreciation for your unwavering support. Your generosity has been instrumental in advancing our mission: to promote health, prevent illness, and foster excellence in public health education and research.

Throughout the last 25 years, we’ve been able to accomplish:

State-of-the-Art Facilities: Thanks to private support, our students, faculty, and staff thrive in a modern, purpose-built facility completed in 2012. The beautiful College of Public Health Building serves as a hub for learning, collaboration, and innovation.

Experiential Learning: Through your contributions, public health students have access to an array of experiential learning programs, from research projects and internships to global health programs and service-learning courses. Students engage in real-world experiences, applying what they learn in the classroom and enhancing their skills across the globe.

Faculty Excellence: Private funding enables us to recruit and retain exceptional faculty members and educators who train and inspire future public health professionals and impact research, policy, and community engagement.

Throughout our history—including decades of leadership in the UI departments, divisions, and programs that preceded the college’s formation—our goal has been advancing public health science and preparing Hawkeye students for rewarding careers across the spectrum of public health: in frontline roles as epidemiologists and environmental health specialists, as leaders in health care management, clinical trials, and community-based health programming, and as researchers and academics.

Your support helps us develop and maintain the innovative programs that are needed to meet the public health challenges of today and tomorrow—from complex environmental health issues to new and re-emerging infectious diseases to effective policy development and community-based initiatives.

Together, we can achieve more:  As we look ahead, we’re excited about the possibilities. With your continued partnership, we’ll make significant strides in public health, leaving a legacy for generations to come.

Thank you for being an essential part of our journey. Your belief in our mission inspires us daily.
