Your University of South Florida College of Public Health (COPH) colleagues are excited to see you at the American Public Health Association Annual Meeting in Atlanta. We want to celebrate with all of you participating in the largest gathering of public health scholars and professionals in the country!

The last time APHA was in Atlanta our event venue experienced a power outage. We started out in the dark, but everything was bright and merry by the time the party ended! Make plans now to connect with your alma mater and other public health colleagues.

Engage with us.

Members of the USF community are scheduled to give research presentations at APHA. Check out the APHA program guide for an impressive list of Bulls ready to share their passion with the masses.
