Message from the ASPPH President & CEO
ASPPH-member schools and programs include some of the world’s leading experts in infectious disease control, preparedness, and response. As an academic public health community, we turn towards these experts for guidance and clarity in times of uncertainty. View the most up-to-date resources from schools and programs of public health as you seek guidance and information during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In early April 2020, ASPPH produced a snapshot of the range of heroic actions being undertaken by member schools and programs and their faculty, staff, and students to meet the needs of their campuses and communities related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The snapshot also includes links to various additional online resources generated by our members. This snapshot is not intended to be comprehensive.
