"There has never been a more exciting or challenging time to enter the field of public health. Today's students must face complex issues, such as AIDS, violence, environmental hazards, access to health care, SARS, bioterrorism, and the re-emergence of infectious diseases. The Rollins School of Public Health (RSPH) of Emory University is preparing students to meet these challenges in an environment unique among schools of public health."

- Dean James W. Curran
