New dean coming to COPH

We are incredibly fortunate that Dr. Sten Vermund has agreed to become the next dean of the USF Health College of Public Health, and I am confident that he will elevate Florida’s first and finest College of Public Health to even greater heights. I also want to express our deep gratitude to Dr. Donna Petersen for her 20 years of inspiring and energetic leadership as dean. She has shaped COPH into the powerhouse it is today, and we are forever in her debt.
