An interprofessional team of students from the Texas A&M University Health Science Center took the stage in Minneapolis on April 12 at the national CLARION Case Competition to present their proposed solution to a simulated health challenge. Kyla Brown, a senior public health student on the team, took home the Best Presenter Award for “excellent oral presentation skills.” The team included Janet John, a first-year pharmacy student, and Ssu-Yu Yeh, a doctoral public health student.

Congrats to Dr. Jennifer Griffith for improving morale at the Texas A&M School of Public Health. The Boseph D. Gibbs Endowment for Staff and Faculty Morale was established by Dean Shawn Gibbs and his wife Neena to recognize those who make the School of Public Health a great place to work and comes with $250 for a nice dinner out. Her nominee shared this about Dr. Griffith:
“She is a walking morale booster for faculty, staff, and students at SPH. She leaves you feeling great about being at Texas A&M and the School of Public Health. During the 25th Anniversary events such as the Parents Weekend and the Gala she brought high spirits and energized everyone. She also killed it on the Dance Floor!”
