The School of Public Health has student ambassadors who assist our Academic Affairs team with recruitment and events. They are class leaders who bring our SPH-CARES mission across campus while preparing them for the next public health opportunity.

"I am pursuing my Master of Public Health in the Generalist track at the University of Memphis, where I also earned my bachelor's degree in health studies.

Wherever I go, I want to carry public health with me; in the conversations I have, the decisions I make, and the people I serve."
