Our Public Health Program Director Sr. Angela Ekwonye added two papers to her publications so far this year! She continues to focus her work on mental health promotion and the mechanisms of resilience that sustain diverse populations navigating social and economic hardship. Both papers focus on employing positive psychological interventions to increase the quality of life of Nigerian university students.

On one of these papers, Sr. Ekwonye collaborated with public health students Leila Hoeschen Ehrbright and Sophi M. Cahalan through the Summer Scholars Program!

Celebrating the global impact of our MPH community! After completing her MPH practicum and co-authoring AOFOG’s Regional Call to Action to Eliminate Violence Against Women, MPH student Alyssa Olson was invited back to Chulalongkorn University’s School of Global Health in Bangkok, Thailand. Working in collaboration with MPH alumna Connie Vang, who currently lives in Bangkok, Alyssa is supporting a Photovoice study on IPV among university students.

Alyssa recently traveled to Bangkok to present for the WHO’s International Day to End Violence Against Women.

We are so proud of their commitment to advancing women’s health and preventing violence worldwide.

We’re excited to celebrate MPH student Artam Enayat, who presented his research at the APHA 2025 Conference in October.

Artam’s presentation, “Navigating Climate Change and Violence Against Women and Girls: Community Response Strategies in Kilifi, Kenya,” examined how climate-related stresses can heighten risks for violence against women and girls and highlighted multi-level community response strategies.

He shared that the best part of APHA was connecting with professionals passionate about gender and climate justice, receiving feedback that strengthened the community and policy relevance of his work.

Artam added, “I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Allen (MPH Director and Associate Professor) and Dr. Munala (U of MN research partner and former MPH faculty member) for their unwavering support and guidance throughout this research, and for giving me the opportunity to present it at the nationwide APHA 2025 conference. This achievement would not have been possible without their mentorship and encouragement.”

We are so proud of Artam’s dedication to community-centered research and global health equity!
