Howdy!
It is my privilege to serve as Dean during the 25th Anniversary of the school that so many of you helped build. From 23 students in our inaugural class, to over 2,800 students this fall semester, SPH’s extraordinary journey has resulted in our being the 5th largest School of Public Health in the nation by student enrollment as well as our completing a record year in research. Our graduates continue to transform public health in their communities in Texas and across the nation.
We have developed this site to provide all the details you need to know about the year-of-celebrations we have planned. You won’t want to miss the photos and stories of our 25 years of history found here. This site will continue to evolve over our anniversary year, and we’re inviting all SPH members—past and present—to share fond memories and photos by visiting https://tx.ag/25thStories.
You are a crucial part of our story, and I hope you will join us as we honor our past, celebrate our present, and share our hopes for the future.
With gratitude, Shawn
