2019 Multicultural Graduation

The School of Public Health hosted its first Multicultural Graduation on May 6, which was emceed by Anjulie Ganti, a faculty member in the Public Health-Global Health major. Thirty students and their families attended at the UW Intellectual House. The event included two student speakers, Courtney Jackson and Christelle Silué, who each shared encouraging words to fellow graduates about continuing to be agents of change. Community recognition from the Students of Color Affinity Group was awarded to El Centro de la Raza and Hana Mohamed from the Somali Health Board for their outstanding public health work!
