ASPPH proudly welcomes 82 graduate students from 51 member schools as our new This is Public Health® (TIPH) Ambassadors. These students play a vital role on the front lines of recruitment, sharing their experiences to inspire the next generation of public health leaders. We also thank the 2025–2026 Ambassadors for their outstanding contributions over the past year. Their dedication advanced awareness of public health and strengthened connections with prospective students.

Since its inception in 2017, the TIPH Ambassador program has amplified and highlighted our institutions’ best students’ inspiring stories and extraordinary experiences. 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 program or to invite TIPH Ambassadors to present to your group, please contact Mary Beth Carroll, Director of Student Pathways and Recruitment, at mbcarroll@aspph.org.
