Dr. Ana V. Diez Roux started her tenure as dean this week at the Drexel University School of Public Health. She will oversee the expansion of the school’s research and training portfolio in urban health, health disparities, and policy-relevant public health, while continuing its leadership in experiential education, community engagement, and cultural diversity. She replaces Dr. John Rich, who served as interim dean since Dr. Marla Gold stepped down to rejoin the faculty last June, following more than a decade of foundational leadership as the school’s dean.
