Since its establishment as an independent school in 2016, the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy continues to evolve and respond to the changing face of public health. Passion for the communities we serve is reflected in our programming and positions us to build unique and ambitious events that expand our partnerships with leaders equally dedicated to the promotion of the public’s well-being. 


Public Health Everywhere: Nontraditional Career Paths is just one example of CUNY SPH’s commitment to celebrating the creativity, ingenuity, and spirit of the public health world and the professionals who are driving the field forward, committed to the health of New York City and beyond. 

CUNY SPH's Public Health Everywhere symposium is the perfect opportunity to discover diverse career paths in public health and law, the arts, media, the environment, advocacy, and entrepreneurship.
