On Monday, August 6, ASPPH hosted a meeting between representatives of five ASPPH member institutions and seven applicants for CEPH-accreditation as stand-alone baccalaureate programs. The meeting, facilitated by ASPPH consultant Josh Mintz and led by John Finnegan (Minnesota) chair of ASPPH board, was designed to learn more about the undergraduate programs, including their motivations to pursue CEPH accreditation and their challenges. Many opportunities for meaningful collaboration were identified. ASPPH will be forming a small task force to explore these issues further. A full list of the attendees is below:
