Testing the climate of our school’s culture

In December 2022, SPH conducted a survey to gauge how people felt about being part of our school. The questions asked, among other things, how supported people felt, was the school atmosphere welcoming, and if SPH does a good job educating its staff and faculty about creating inclusive workplaces and classrooms. The results showed a positive trend compared to the last survey in 2020 and since we launched our Strategic Plan for Antiracism in 2021.

Students of SPH

Sam Greenwald graduated from Vassar College and came to SPH to focus on identifying and meeting the unique health care needs of gender and sexual minorities. Before receiving his MS, Sam was a part-time student data worker at the Minnesota Department of Health and a research assistant at SPH with Drs. Simon Rosser and Tetyana Shippee on an NIH-funded study of how long-term services and supports (LTSS) intersect with LGBTQ and dementia patients.

“When discussing how to improve LGBTQ health, the conversation usually ends at increasing cultural humility among providers. This is unquestionably important. That said, there’s a need for more rigorous, quantitative research on this relatively small and hard to reach population.”

— Sam Greenwald, Health Services Research, Policy & Administration MS
