The Monthly Monday Letter

The University of Kentucky College of Public Health's Monthly Monday Letter is a collection of our impact stories, events, and news for all public health champions in Kentucky and beyond!

Welcome to our first edition of the Monthly Monday Letter!

Every Monday, the College of Public Health takes a moment to recognize the efforts of faculty, staff, students and other success stories by sending out the CPH Monday Letter.

We now want to share these stories with you, our public health community and without overloading your inbox. With this in mind, we have selected and compiled stories from the last month for you in the very first edition of the Monthly Monday Letter.

We hope you enjoy these updates from our College's health champions and will join us in celebrating the work being done to create a healthier Commonwealth, nation, and world!

Dr. Heather Bush, Acting Dean
