Whether you are exploring our programs for the first time or already pursuing your degree, I’m delighted to welcome you to the School of Community & Global Health ) at Claremont Graduate University.
It is a true privilege to serve as Interim Dean during this pivotal moment for public health—when global and local challenges demand not only expertise, but also bold, compassionate leadership. At SCGH, we prepare students to lead with empathy, integrity, and innovation in a rapidly changing world.
SCGH is home to a vibrant, interdisciplinary community committed to improving health outcomes across diverse populations. Our programs blend rigorous, evidence-based training with real-world application, cultural humility, and a deep understanding of the structural and social forces that shape health and well-being.
We are proud to offer a dynamic environment where students, faculty, alumni, and community partners collaborate across disciplines to advance health equity and public health innovation. Whether you are conducting research, engaging in practicum work, or serving as a leader in your community or profession, you are part of a shared mission to create a healthier and more equitable future for all.
I invite you to explore our programs, connect with our dedicated faculty and students, and stay engaged with our growing network of alumni and community partners. Together, we are reimagining what it means to educate public health leaders for the 21st century.
