ASPPH is thrilled to announce our 2024-2025 This Is Public Health (TIPH) Ambassador Cohort. This year’s is the largest yet, both in size and ASPPH member representation. Comprised of 97 exceptional graduate students (a 20% increase from last year) hailing from 61 ASPPH member schools worldwide (a 33% increase from last year), this cohort exemplifies ASPPH’s core mission of improved health and well-being for everyone, everywhere.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the 2023-2024 TIPH Ambassador Cohort, whose tenure ended in June, for their tireless work and dedication to creating positive change in their communities. Your commitment and passion for advancing public health are truly commendable.
Since its inception in 2017, the TIPH Ambassador program has amplified and highlighted the inspiring stories and extraordinary experiences of our institutions’ best students. These exceptional graduate students, nominated by their respective institutions, play a crucial role in fostering interest in public health education and career opportunities.
To learn more about the TIPH Ambassadors or to have them present to your group, please contact Nick Mahoney, ASPPH Director of Student and Alumni Engagement, at students@aspph.org.
