🌍 The future of public health starts here.

This summer, San Diego County high school students joined SDSU’s Pathways to Public Health workshop to explore how public health shapes our communities. Through hands-on learning, mentorship and real-world experiences, students gained valuable insight into education and career pathways in the field.

We’re proud to help inspire the next generation of public health leaders.
