We asked Yale School of Public Health community members to share what should define the future of our school, as well as their hopes for our upcoming ✨new building✨, at our 2026 State of the School. Here’s what they had to say. What would you add?

“What we are building here at YSPH is a radical statement of commitment to the future.”

During our Yale School of Public Health 2026 State of the School last week, Dean Megan Peimer Ranney, MD, MPH, shared how we are designing a school built to last. These were some of our favorite moments from the evening.
