Population Health Colloquium Series

Lehigh’s College of Health (COH) has been on the cutting edge of health education and technology since its inception in 2019. Faced with the multitude of challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, College of Health leadership rallied together to explore ways students could interact with industry leaders and thinkers on current, pressing topics. In Fall 2020, the Population Health Colloquium series kicked off, with multiple lectures and panels hosted throughout the academic year engaging students and the public about navigating the circumstances of a national health crisis. From there, the series has grown to become an annual hallmark in the College, encouraging continuous growth and addressing the here and now. All events are remote and free of charge, sticking to our mission of attracting world-class talent while staying fully accessible to our community.

The current series celebrates the first incoming class for the Integrated Business and Health Program, and features Lehigh University's alumni and friends who are leaders and experts in various aspects of the business of health.
