“Being recognized and selected by the College and CPH Alumni Society is of course a personal honor, but I think I view it more as validation and recognition of how effective and successful I have been in the Public Health field. That effectiveness and success is a direct result of the education, public health management tools and experience that I received as a graduate of The Ohio State University and what is now the College of Public Health. I could not be more proud to be a Buckeye and graduate of The Ohio State University!” -CDR Michael Cassady
