Dear At the Frontline readers:

I am very pleased to announce the launch of the Mailman School’s new website.  

Our new site is designed to communicate the Mailman School’s role in educating future public health leaders, cutting-edge research, and translation of science into impact.  The site communicates the School’s commitment to addressing today’s—and tomorrow’s—most pressing public health challenges both locally and globally, and conveys a currency, energy, and culture of leadership and collaboration that is representative of the Mailman School’s mission and work.  
 
The homepage of the site speaks to the success of this vast undertaking— with information easily accessible on a number of important topics, such as the swine flu, faculty work around the globe, and upcoming School events. Newsfeeds, spotlights, and feature stories throughout the site will allow us to communicate, create, promote, and celebrate new programs, initiatives, and accomplishments far more effectively, as well as provide a sense of interactivity and community for visitors.  

Schools of public health increasingly play a critical role in the creation, translation, and sharing of knowledge, leading to innovation and discovery on a large scale. The web is a pivotal tool that enables us to share new ideas with researchers, public health professionals, and communities both near and far.  The web is also a dynamic medium, and I look forward to the site’s growth and evolution to meet the changing needs of the School and the field of public health.

I encourage you to spend some time familiarizing yourself with this exciting resource, and I look forward to your feedback.
