I arrived to the conference on Sunday, in the middle of the first full day, having come straight from a friend\u2019s wedding in Texas, and unfortunately missed some earlier events. That evening my classmate Gabriella and I attended a public health activist\u2019s dinner down the street from the convention center. Based on the description of the event, I thought I would be attending an event for people like myself &#8211; who consider themselves activists in the public health field, to simply network and enjoy a dinner together as a community of like-minded individuals. Little did I know this was about to be the dinner of a lifetime.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2267\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2267\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mchtulane.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/11\/kara-marmot-gabriella1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2267 size-medium\" style=\"border:1px solid #000000;\" src=\"https:\/\/mchtulane.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/11\/kara-marmot-gabriella1.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"kara-marmot-gabriella\" width=\"300\" height=\"222\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2267\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kara Hoffman, Sir Michael Marmot, and Gabriella Landgraf-Neuhaus (left to right)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Gabriella and I arrived earlier than many of the guests and set our coats at a table before mingling with some of the other guests. When we returned, our table had filled up with people whom I did not recognize. I quickly learned that I was sitting next to past APHA President, from 1983, Anthony Robbins, MD, MPA, who has attended consecutively the last 51 APHA annual conferences! In addition to meeting Dr. Robbins, I also got the chance to speak with many other seasoned activists in the public health community who have played a pivotal role in social justice efforts across the US. I also had the pleasure of meeting Sir Michael Marmot, commonly referred to as the father of the social determinants of health \u2013 which I never would have dreamed would happen!<\/p>\n<p>Meeting so many significant people in the field yet seeing them socialize in this environment made me realize that every <em>great<\/em> person is still just a person, and that I too am capable of achieving great things in my career as a public health advocate!<\/p>\n<p><em>Kara Hoffman is a first-year MPH student concentrating in Maternal and Child Health, and plans to graduate in May 2018.
