20^th Anniversary Gala Celebration – Mel & Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health

For 20 years, the Mel & Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health has been building healthier communities locally, nationally, and globally. That’s 20 years of touching lives across Arizona, 20 years of transformative education for students, 20 years of delivering programs that improve health outcomes for everyone from infants to grandparents. Come celebrate all we have accomplished together at the 20^th Anniversary Gala on Saturday, November 7, 2020.

Honorees

The Gala will pay tribute to the contributions of several Honorees, both organizations and individuals, who have made a powerful impact on community health in the Tucson region and beyond. Many of the Honorees are alumni from the College who have used their expertise in public health to make positive change on a national or global scale.
