Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the MPH Program at UTC has provided support to our community partners in a safe and healthy environment. This is the time to give back to our communities! MPH students, faculty, and staff have been successful in developing strategies that address the needs of our community through programming, volunteering, and listening. The bulletin reflects a few stories of collaboration, alumni success, and helpful resources for UTC students and graduates.

Public Health in the Forefront
Although we are all faced with difficult times due to COVID-19, together, we can overcome the biggest challenges. This is the time for public health to take a step forwards and shine. This special issue focuses on the unique ways that the UTC Public Health Program has been engaged in the local Chattanooga community as a part of a collective response to COVID-19. Equally important, we want to take this opportunity to highlight the accomplishments of the first graduating cohort of the UTC Public Health Program – the 2020 Pioneers!
