Rise to the moment
We are living in a time of significant political tension and polarization, but public health is on the side of everyone. We’re on the side of defeating cancer permanently. We’re on the side of ensuring clean air and clean water. We’re on the side of healthy babies becoming resilient children and thriving adults. At the University of Michigan School of Public Health, we are in a perpetual pursuit of a healthier world for all.
When external forces impact our field, we are compelled to rise to the moment and advocate for public health. We have taken to saying, “Public health research: Your life depends on it,” because we all depend on the life-saving and future-bettering work of public health with our colleagues across the country. If that motto feels drastic, that’s because it is. Now is the time, and we need you now to rise together.
To our alumni and friends worldwide, the groundbreaking research happening at Michigan Public Health today—from blood tests that predict Alzheimer’s before symptoms appear to workplace safety innovations protecting millions of workers—faces unprecedented challenges. Efforts to dismantle federal public health programs and research funding jeopardize the very discoveries that save lives and strengthen communities worldwide.
This is where you come in.
