The Roosevelt Institute and the Roosevelt House are cosponsoring an event
at the Roosevelt House with Dr. John McDonough, the Public Health Scholar at the
new school for public policy.
I thought that this might be of interest to you and to any Pre-Med students
who have expressed interest in public health.
