As we return from the holiday weekend, ASPPH extends sincere appreciation to the academic public health community, including our educators, researchers, practitioners, students, advocates, and partners who strengthen the health and well-being of communities around the world.
 
This year has presented significant challenges in public health, including workforce strain, funding uncertainty, and a complex and shifting policy environment. Despite these pressures, our community has continued to lead with resilience, advance evidence into practice, and advocate for policies that support strong and equitable public health systems.
 
As we look ahead to 2026, ASPPH remains committed to supporting academic public health in navigating federal policy changes, elevating the needs of our members, and working together to build a healthier and more equitable future for all.
 
For those who celebrated, we hope the Thanksgiving holiday offered rest and connection. ASPPH is grateful for your continued partnership and leadership in our policy and advocacy efforts.
