Location: Columbus, OH

What did you learn in your CPH program that has been useful to your career?

One of the first classes I took was Dr. Schweikhart's Information Systems for Health Services Organizations. It cemented in my mind that the success of any organization - not just in the healthcare industry - depends on their ability to manage the entirety of the data lifecycle and leverage technology to facilitate their workforce in making data-driven decisions.

Location: Washington D.C.

What is one of your favorite memories from your time at CPH?

One of my favorite memories of CPH has always been the physical space - the hallways filled with eager students to go to lectures, groups working on the whiteboard in the hallways, professors connecting with one another and leaving their doors open to students and their colleagues, open showcases of students' research. It was and continues to be such a magical place where people come to learn and feel inspired to create change in the world.

Laura Onianwa, BSPH ’21

Location: Columbus, OH

Why are you excited to join the board this year?

I am also looking forward to volunteering and hosting events for the OSU community and being able to introduce current students to the unique career paths former CPH students have taken.

Morgan Hammonds, MPH ’18, BSPH ’16

Location: Columbus, OH

What is one of your favorite memories from your time at CPH?

Having people around you is important. Shortly after starting the MPH program and after a particularly difficult biostatistics class, a group of 3 women invited me to their table to work on the upcoming assignment with them. I am grateful for how close my cohort was. This group of women was a great support system during the program and continue to be my friends.
Claire Siebert

Claire Siebert, BSPH ’22

Location: Chapel Hill, NC

What is one thing that you learned in your CPH program that has been useful in your career?

Public Health does not exist in a vacuum. It is a multidisciplinary field where various stakeholders, including healthcare providers, policymakers, researchers, and community members, must work together to address complex health issues. This interconnectedness is crucial for creating effective public health strategies.
