My passion for Public Health is policy and advocacy, Dr. Heidi Hancher-Racuh and UIndy have helped me grow that passion and allowed me to partake in many unforgettable experiences. I have traveled to Belize for a service-learning trip, Salt Lake City to present at a conference, and Washington D.C. to advocate on a national platform. All of these experiences were made possible by Dr. Rauch. I am forever grateful for everything she and UIndy have done for me." -Amy Rohr '19 (public health)
