Science needs to be done in the public interest and given the opportunity to find the truth. It's important to the people of the state of West Virginia.

I’ve had the privilege of combining my unique background and global perspective in health education to improve teaching, community- and clinic-based interventions and public health service.

One of the greatest feelings is witnessing the exact moment when a student finally understands a difficult concept. It is in those moments that I am reminded why I was called to teaching service.

Kristi Kelley

Public health is about overall health and well-being. I make healthy choices while being mindful that everything is okay in moderation. Choose something you enjoy and make it a part of your routine.

I have the kind of job I have always dreamed of, which allows me to research in order to help others, mentor students and engage with the community.

Brian Hendricks
Epidemiology and Biostatistics
Watching students connect the dots between course work/theory and their own research interests always reignites my passion for teaching.

Epidemiology and Biostatistics
I think biostatisticians have the best job in public health since we get to work with all these amazing students and their projects!

Toni Morris

Even though you are navigating uncharted territory, the journey is fascinating and exciting. Take advantage of as many opportunities and experiences as you can.

Seeing [my students] successes and the impact I can have through others' careers is far more rewarding than any personal accomplishment.
