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

Under normal circumstances, you would have the option of attending commencement in May, which unfortunately is not currently possible. But we did not want this to let the completion of your Bachelor’s go by without an acknowledgement of this important milestone in your life. We hope that when we are able to assemble again, you will attend the special commencement for Spring 2020 graduates so we can celebrate your accomplishment together.  

Ryan O'Connell is stepping down from the role of PBHL advisor to spend time focusing on his dissertation research. Please join us in thanking Ryan for his committment to student success and passion for Public Health. We wish him the best in pursuit of his PhD in Health & Behavioral Sciences.

Our population is aging—there are nearly 50 million adults in the US over the age of 65, and US adults who reach age 65 can expect to live an additional 19 years. Career opportunities in gerontology are growing rapidly, and addressing the unique needs of older adults will be important for the next generation of public health professionals. This course will discuss changes to social, behavioral, and biological functioning with age and also consider different ideas about what constitutes ‘successful’ aging.

If you have questions, Contact Jennifer Boylan, PhD at Jennifer.Boylan@ucdenver.edu.
