The Friday Letter is the Association of Schools of Public Health's complimentary, weekly e-newsletter that focuses on the latest news from leading Schools of Public Health. We feature groundbreaking research, opportunities, and developments from CEPH-accredited Schools of Public Health. Each week the newsletter is sent to approximately 15,000 subscribers who are members of the public health workforce and academic community.
