The year was 2019 and the location was Lucky Strike in Philly. That was the last time we gathered for the American Public Health Association Annual Meeting…

We are grateful for pandemic progress that will finally allow us to gather again in November 2022!

Your USF College of Public Health colleagues are excited to see you this year in Boston, especially since it is the 150th anniversary of APHA. We want to celebrate our association and with all of you participating in the largest gathering of public health scholars and professionals in the country!

Engage with us.

Members of the USF community are scheduled to give research presentations at APHA. Check out the APHA program guide for an impressive list of Bulls ready to share their passion with the masses.

Network with us.

Add the most happening APHA reception to your calendar for Monday, Nov. 7. Alumni, students, faculty and friends are invited to join Dean Donna Petersen for a bullish good time. We secured an indoor/rooftop space for this shindig and can’t wait to see you there! RSVP here.
