We are delighted to welcome Nicole DelMastro-Jeffery as the new MPH assistant director.  Nicole comes to the MPH program with years of experience on the Urbana-Champaign campus, working in academic advising at the Gies School of Business, student support services, and the Office of Minority Student Affairs.  She also worked in career development and job training.  Nicole earned a bachelor’s degree in Social Work and a master’s degree in Higher Education Policy, Organization and Leadership at Illinois. She is passionate about working with our diverse student body and the communities our MPH students serve.  Welcome, Nicole!

We are delighted to share that in October the Illinois MSHA program earned national accreditation! CEPH is the Council on Accreditation for Public Health, which accredits MPH programs, as well as many MHA and related health administration programs, nationwide. This accreditation shows that the Illinois MSHA program meets rigorous standards in curriculum and instruction, practical training experiences, and professional development to prepare students for their careers in health administration. National accreditation also opens doors for the program regarding recruiting and internship and fellowship opportunities for students and alumni.
