Studer, Melanie

UNC Service

Service is at the heart of my role at Gillings. As a faculty member and DUS in Health Policy and Management (HPM), I have advised and mentored hundreds of undergraduate students. I also chair our program's advisory and admissions committee, serve on the HPM executive advisory committee, and have served on multiple search committee. Within Gillings, I chaired the School's inaugural undergraduate curriculum workgroup, served as project manager for our School's most recent CEPH accreditation, and have served on the School's academic programs committee since 2016.
