Public health is ‘more relevant than ever’
May 27, 2021 Most people don’t think about public health unless there’s a crisis, Dean Michelle Williams noted during Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health’s 2021 virtual graduation ceremony. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she said, the field has become more visible and relevant than ever.
“The world is realizing that public health is just that public. That it’s everyone’s business. And that we simply haven’t invested in public health like we should,” Williams said.
Crises create the opportunity to look at old problems in new ways and to imagine something better, she said. Noting that applications for next year’s class have gone up by 40%, she told graduates, “People want to be like you. They want to be part of the solution.”
