1. NYU is among the best Global Universities with 14 total sites and campuses around the world.
2. We are one of the few schools of public health to have "Global" in our name.
3. Commitment to global health is strongly backed by our new Dean Dr. Debra Furr-Holden.
A new future for global health requires bold leadership and we cannot afford to be agnostic about it. With lessons learned from the most recent pandemic, we can and must focus on global health equity so that we do not lose ground on disease eradication and are better prepared to successfully handle emerging disease outbreaks. We are fooling ourselves to think we can wait another 100 years to prepare for the next pandemic.
4. We have recently become a department in the school and are the largest growing concentration at NYU GPH.
5. Access to numerous global and environmental health organizations.
6. Accessible and supportive faculty providing one-on-one mentorship.

8. Many global opportunities offered through our Department.
