A BUSPH Ode to 2022
In 2022, BUSPH was up to a lot,
And have we mentioned we earned the #6 ranking spot?
Our iconic red BUSPH letters hit the Talbot green,
Quickly making their way into students' selfie routines.
We found that living amongst greenery may boost cognitive function,
And that COVID-19 vaccines do not impair reproduction.
Michael Che even referenced our research live on TV,
SPH on SNL’s Weekend Update, can you believe?!
When SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade, our community didn’t accept defeat,
Faculty, staff, students, all found time to take their voices to the streets.
The Activist Lab continued to forge change,
Making good trouble out of justified outrage.
The PHP fellows drove the national dialogue on public health,
Writing about everything from prison reform to the inequities of wealth.
Over 150 thousand people engaged in our Public Health Conversations,
These are just a few of the things that make us sixth in the nation.
Our reach spans the globe quite far,
With alums in over 100 countries, our students leave here public health superstars.
We said goodbye to the class of 2022,
And sent them off to the real world to make their public health professional debut.
Most importantly, we never lost sight of our vision,
Creating a healthier world for all continues to be our mission.
Oh P.S., we made a Post and TikTok,
Give us a follow…(even if it’s only to mock.)
Keep up with SPH on Post.
