Thank you for all you do. I’m continuously inspired by you and everyone working in #publichealth, whose efforts often go unseen but whose impact is felt everywhere. #PHTYD

I’m especially proud of everyone at @hsph.harvard.edu. No matter what area they focus on, our faculty, researchers, trainees, alumni, students, & staff are committed to understanding the drivers of disease & health inequity, and advancing solutions that improve the health & well-being of everyone.

I’m grateful to the speakers for sharing their insights and to BSHO for organizing such a special event that brought learning and inspiration to our community. hsph.harvard.edu/news/muhamma...

We heard powerful reflections on the impact of Muhammad Ali’s legacy in advancing public health and community well-being. And Dr. Goldie spoke candidly about her journey with Parkinson’s disease—a story she recently shared in the New York Times—and the importance of community and connection.

It was a conversation between Lonnie Ali, co-founder of the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center and the Muhammad Ali Center, and Dr. Sue J. Goldie, the Roger Irving Lee Professor of Public Health.

It was wonderful to meet his family, colleagues and friends, and hear firsthand stories about his extraordinary talent and profound humility.

A special thank you to our Convocation speaker, @celinegounder.com, and our student speaker, Muhammad Jawad Noon, for sharing words of advice with the Class of 2025!

I am so grateful for all that this year’s graduates will bring to the world. 🙏

These are the belief that every human being deserves good health; that rigorous science improves and saves lives; and that progress is always possible—even in the most difficult times.

This is a challenging time, both for Harvard and public health, but yesterday was a powerful reminder of the values that brought our graduates to our field, and School, in the first place.
