These problems require people around the world to come together and act urgently. Our department aims to equip the next generation of scholars, practitioners and leaders to tackle these issues head-on. Get ready to be part of the solution and to help shape a healthier future for the world." — Mark Jit, Chair and Professor of the Department of Global and Environmental Health
