2026 Annual Meeting Testimonials

I had an amazing time at the ASPPH Annual Meeting. I learned so much about communicating public health with clarity and conviction, and building coalitions to find common ground. Best of all, I got to reconnect with some of my public health heroes.

Timothy Paul

Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health

I attended the ASPPH Annual Meeting expecting the usual conference energy. What I got instead were people who have led at the highest levels of public health telling us the truth plainly.

Ursulla Frempong

The Pennsylvania State University

Each experience offered something unique, but I especially appreciated the conversations at ASPPH around the intersection of academia and public health and how to better equip the next generation of public health leaders to enter the workforce. It was a great chance to reflect on how research, education, and practice can come together to drive public health impact within various institutions. Looking forward to applying what I’ve learned and continuing to grow in this work.

The conference gave me the chance to explore different public health careers, connect with faculty from public health schools and employers, and make new friends. The panels were engaging and truly inspired me in my journey as a future public health professional.

Thank you to the great team at ASPPH. The American Public Health Association (APHA) team really enjoys this meeting and for bringing together the leadership of the SPH from across the nation together annually. Looking forward to Baltimore next March 2027.

Academic public health is built in rooms like these. At the 2026 Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH) Annual Meeting, I was reminded of something I have seen across almost three decades in the field. Access shapes who leads. Grateful for the conversations, the connections, and the shared commitment to the future of our field.
