La Salud Week of Cultural Resistance

The Muslim Students in Public Health are happy to announce their 2nd Annual Community Iftar (dinner) on Monday, March 24th! This year’s theme is centered around hope & resilience. 

In the spirit of Ramadan and with the end of the semester coming around, Muslim Students of Public Health is happy to share a space for our school community to get together! Thus, this is open to all students, staff, and faculty to attend. Please feel free to bring your family and loved ones with you. There will be free food, some chai, and a good time! :-) 

You do not need to be observing the fast to attend! RSVP is appreciated for the food order but not mandatory for participation!

This event, featuring Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, will explore the impact of political shifts on public health and policy, with a particular focus on immigration and marginalized communities. As political climates change, so do policies related to healthcare access, environmental health, and social determinants of health, all of which disproportionately affect immigrant and minority populations.

Through a discussion led by Dr. El-Sayed, a public health expert and advocate, this event will examine the ways in which policy decisions shape health outcomes, access to care, and community well-being. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the intersection between politics and public health, as well as potential avenues for advocacy and reform. An iftar will be provided, fostering a space for community engagement and meaningful conversations during Ramadan. Additionally, we will host an interactive activity related to the panel discussion, allowing participants to engage with and apply the insights they've gained, further enriching the communal learning experience.
