LETTER FROM THE DEAN: Toward A More Just World
" We often say that our work at the Columbia Mailman School is guided by a bold vision: to build a healthy and just world. What do we mean by “just”? It’s a world in which all people—regard- less of their identity, income, or where they live—have equal opportunity and access to health. "
