As Boston University’s School of Public Health prepares for its 50th anniversary in 2026, this annual report-style publication serves as a key component in a strategic four-year campaign in celebration of the anniversary. This edition is the second in a series of four: Our People (2023), Our Place (2024), Our Moments (2025), and the 50th anniversary issue (2026), each of which is designed to feel like a collector’s item. The focus for the 2024 issue centers on places—both literal and figurative—that have contributed to fulfilling SPH’s mission. The conceptual approach centered around the idea that while SPH shares a mission wherever it goes, the way that is lived out across the world—and shown in each of our stories—can look wonderfully different. It celebrates the diversity at SPH by letting each individual story tell its own visual story, juxtaposing unlikely design combinations from each story’s unique perspective which, when combined, express the collective, inclusive nature of SPH’s work through its eclecticism.
