MPH Student Larry Mackey talks About the program:

When I started my masters program at my advanced age, having Mr. Larry Mackey worked in public health for many years, I thought that I would not learn a whole lot more than I already knew. But nearing the halfway point in my program, I see just how wrong I was. I have enjoyed all of the classes I have taken, but found this one to be especially helpful in crystalizing some of my ideas and concepts of public health practice. MPH 531 will most definitely help me in my career and I think it will make me a better public health professional.
