Why should I contribute to the School?

Answer:  

Although the School of Public Health is a state-supported institution, public funds comprise less than 30 percent of our annual budget. Private giving helps the School recruit the highest caliber students, attract and retain the best faculty, and develop new research and service programs that further the public's health across North Carolina and around the world. Private giving will continue to ensure that the School maintains its leadership position in research, education, and service.  To learn more about research priorities, go to our research site.
