Aimee Rowe Selected as TPHA Academician of the Year

From the nomination form: “Her quiet demeanor makes her approachable for students who otherwise

may be intimidated or slow to respond to an instructor. Her efficient and relaxed teaching style creates an educational environment suitable for various learners. Aimee is truly deserving of this award as she is

dedicated to helping shape the future public health leaders and providing experiences and opportunities for our students that build confidence in their field, grow as professionals, and educate the community. The work that Aimee has done for our community also shows her compassion and dedication to improving the quality of life of the public."
