Inclusive Excellence and Academic Engagement

Inclusive excellence is at the core of College’s identity, and these values are essential to achieving our vision of a healthier, safer, more equitable world for all in Georgia and beyond.

Currently the most diverse college at UGA, the College of Public Health is working to create and maintain an environment that welcomes and supports all members of the CPH community. We strive to conduct our work and practice with cultural humility and a willingness to learn and adapt to the needs of our students, faculty, and staff and the communities we serve.

For Students: Health Equity Fellows

Bridging service, research, and faculty-student mentorships, the Health Equity Fellows program launched in Spring 2021. Through a competitive process, CPH students were invited to propose a community project focused on health equity or the elimination of health disparities in a Georgia community. Five students were selected for the inaugural 2021 cohort. Learn more.

For Students: Student Mini Grants

The program, located within the Health Equity Hub, supports student-led outreach addressing public health issues experienced by underrepresented or otherwise marginalized or underserved groups in Athens-Clarke County. Student teams gain experience writing grant proposals and project design, while also making an impact in their local community.
