Black Advocates for Equity in Health

Black Advocates for Equity in Health (BAEH) was founded in 2018 to provide space and resources to support and empower Black students in the School of Public Health. We aim to foster community, create networking opportunities, and provide opportunities to connect with fellow students at SPH across disciplines. BAEH exists to promote health equity and address/dismantle structural anti-blackness on campus and beyond. Our vision is that the UC Berkeley School of Public Health and the field of public health at large are more diverse and representative of Black communities in the United States. We see a future in which Black-identifying individuals are empowered to be leaders in the field of public health and racial/ethnic health disparities are eliminated. The group is comprised of students, faculty and staff.
