Associate Dean Julia Cartwright leads the strategy in promoting the college’s academic programs and efforts to build prominence for the NYU School of Global Public Health domestically and internationally. She oversees internal and external communication, and media relations.
Before joining NYU and with a career devoted to social change communications, for 12 years, she led Legacy’s award-winning communications initiatives devoted to raising public awareness about the deadly toll tobacco takes in our nation.
