Dean’s Town Hall
UW School of Medicine and Public Health Dean’s Town Halls are typically held three times each academic year. The topics discussed at these meetings are broadly relevant to the entire school community of faculty, staff, and learners and relate to various aspects of the school’s mission. Attending gives everyone a chance to: hear updates from Dean Nita Ahuja, MD, MBA, and other administrative leaders, learn more about the school’s goals, participate in question-and-answer sessions, and build community.
