Students can wander along flower-lined paths, interspersed with vines and olive trees and watch artists at work. Quaint shops, restaurants and galleries dot the landscape. On campus, one of the first sights to greet newcomers is the magnificent set of stained glass windows created by Marc Chagall.

In light of the continuous evolution of the public health field and to meet the challenges of health for all in the 21st century, a well-trained health and motivated workforce that is oriented to meet the needs of the communities is essential for local and national health systems to function properly. Public health practitioners must also assume a role in narrowing health disparities between and among nations, communities, and neighborhoods.
