Population and Public Health Sciences at Keck School of Medicine of USC celebrated the class of 2020 with a virtual graduation party in lieu of the annual in-person event that is the tradition of the department.<\/p>\n<p>The online event featured congratulatory remarks from Dr. Thomas Valente, Interim Chair of the Department of Population and Public Health Sciences, who donned full regalia as he encouraged graduates. \u201cThis is such an incredible time in history,\u201d he said, \u201cbut it\u2019s also an incredible opportunity for people who are studying health and all different kinds of public health issues.\u201d Other speakers included Dr. Luanne Rohrbach, Director of the Master of Public Health Program, Dr. Jim Gauderman, Director of the Division of Biostatistics, and Dr. Shubha Kumar, Director of the Master of Public Health Online Program, all of whom expressed similar sentiments and their pride in graduates. Dr. Richard Watanabe, Associate Dean for Health and Population Science Programs, served as master of ceremonies.<\/p>\n<p>Faculty from across the department appeared via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CDOWUBFwaCA\">video montage<\/a> to offer celebratory messages. Common themes included perseverance, hope, and the critical and increasingly prominent role public health professionals will continue to play in a perhaps tempestuous future.<\/p>\n<p>Special recognition was given to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=O2e03DRtWSQ\">2020 inductees into Delta Omega Honorary Society in Public Health<\/a>. The honorary society was established at Johns Hopkins University in 1924 to promote graduate study in public health and recognize outstanding achievement in the field. Each year a small number of Master of Public Health graduates, all ranked in the top 20% of their class and considered by a committee likely to make significant contributions to the field of public health, are selected for induction. The celebration also highlighted a variety of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5UBkFBOZJv4\">graduates\u2019 accomplishments<\/a> across department programs, including speaking engagements, presentations, awards, grants and fellowships.<\/p>\n<p>The event concluded with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DDI5y4LsIvw\">slideshow celebration<\/a> of preventive medicine graduates, featuring students and memories from masters\u2019 and doctoral degree programs. As congratulatory messages flew by in the chat box, department and program leadership offered graduates a vote of confidence in their chosen field. \u201cFor the first time in a century, public health is the most important topic in the whole world,\u201d said Valente. \u201cIt may be crazy, but it\u2019s also a world of opportunity.\u201d Watanabe agreed, \u201cYou guys are going to make significant contributions to public health. You\u2019ll literally change the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n
