Highlights — 2020 Virtual Annual Meeting

The ASPPH Virtual Annual Meeting (VAM) took place over nine weeks with 26 total sessions. The weekly webinars featured topics relevant to undergraduate and graduate academic public health, global health, and current public health concerns. VAM was a terrific success bringing the academic public health community together to focus on common goals, challenges, and opportunities.

We wish to thank all of our moderators, presenters, and attendees for their commitment to the improvement of population health through research, the translation of knowledge, and the education of a diverse community of public health professionals.

"The racial sensitivity and unconscious bias training courses of which we are aware help people become more mindful of their own actions as well as their prejudices, and more sensitive to others and to the dynamics of group interaction." #ASPPHAdvocates http://bit.ly/2GbQ7xO

How do we teach principles of public health during the ongoing and overt dehumanization of BIPOC, a purposefully horrid response to COVID, and while the systems meant to address such issues are manipulated to extend these crises?
