UMBC Public Health Week celebrates APHA's National Public Health Week (NPHW) with our campus community. 

This year’s theme, Public Health Is Where You Are, celebrates what we know is true: The places where we are, physically, mentally and societally, affect our health and our lives. As we celebrate the 27th NPHW, April 4-10, we want everyone to know they can make their communities healthier and safer for all. And as we move slowly back toward gathering in person, we’re focusing not just on what we can do as individuals, but what we can do as communities to protect and prioritize public health.  

The UMBC Public Health Week group invites all members of the UMBC community to join us in hosting events during NPHW that celebrate healthy communities on campus and beyond.

We would love to align your event  with our group during NPHW, as we work to promote and improve public health in the UMBC campus community. For more information, or to add your event to our calendar, contact Katie Birger (katie.birger@umbc.edu), Senior Lecturer and Program Director of the Public Health program in the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Public Health.
