PBHL Header

Congratulations on making it through Spring 2021!

How to Contact the Department this Summer

This will be the last PBHL newsletter until August. Meanwhile, please make sure to keep an eye on your CU Denver email for ongoing updates regarding the Summer and Fall semesters. Our administrative staff and PBHL advisors will continue to be available throughout the summer to assist you with any questions you might have. As a reminder, registration is still open for Maymester and Summer semester courses - please reach out to the PBHL advisors with any questions about getting registered.

Stay healthy and safe, and we will look forward to seeing you (hopefully in person!) after you have some well-deserved time off from classes.

Congratulations Spring 2021 Graduates!

Congratulations on completing your undergraduate degree in Public Health! We applaud your perseverance through this difficult semester.

We did not want to let the completion of your Bachelor’s go by without acknowledging this important milestone. We hope that you can attend virtual commencement on May 15 at 10:00am. Any graduates who would like to celebrate in person can join CU Denver's first-ever “Cross the Quad” celebration on May 17th and 18th. Graduates will cross the stage in front of the Tivoli, graduate names will be announced, diploma covers will be presented, and professional photographers will be there to capture the moment. Both ceremonies will be livestreamed for loved ones who cannot be present. More information is available on the commencement webpage. If you have questions please contact the Commencement Office at 303-315-2113 or commencement@ucdenver.edu.
