Spring 2021

From Matthew Chamberlin
Associate Dean for Communications and Marketing

The year 2020 was unlike any other. COVID-19 touched every corner of our lives, forcing us all to make pivots both large and small. For the first time, Carolina Public Health magazine is digital first, although we did do a limited print run. The reasons are myriad and likely permanent, but we want to hear your thoughts on this maiden voyage. Please submit any comments to sphcomm@unc.edu. Thank you for your ongoing support of both the Gillings School and public health.
