Winter 2022
Message from the Dean
As we near the two-year point since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, I continue to be astounded by the impact that CPH alumni, students, faculty and staff are making at our University, throughout Ohio, across the country, and across the world. In this edition, we highlight a new program with Akron Public Schools to train high school students as community health workers.
Our next issue will offer an in-depth look at CPH efforts during the pandemic response. If you have a story you would like to share, please email me at salemagn@kent.edu.
I wish you a healthy and prosperous 2022.
Yours in good health,
Sonia Alemagno, Dean
