ABOUT US
At the University of Maryland School of Public Health, we are driven by a passion to break down the societal barriers that keep individuals, families, communities and populations from optimum health and wellness.
Established in 2007 to advance a better state of health for the diverse populations of Maryland and beyond, our school builds upon a foundation of disciplines that originated over 165 years ago when our land grant university was established.
With more than 2800 students across 25 different degree programs—including bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral and certificate programs—the UMD School of Public Health is preparing the next generation of public health leaders who are dedicated to advancing health equity, health literacy and smart, science-based solutions to promote well-being.
The School of Public Health Gift Fund allows us to address the evolving needs of our school and our students, ensuring that finances are not a barrier. With your support, student organizations like Global Health Brigades can travel abroad, bringing vaccines to remote regions of the world. Initiatives like the student-led Terrapin Think Tank can work with local stakeholders to develop community-driven health policies in Prince George’s County. Be the catalyst to change by making your gift to the School of Public Health Gift Fund today.
