Iām truly honored to have been named a 2026 Distinguished Fellow by the Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE). This recognition is incredibly meaningful to me, especially from an organization that has been such an important part of my professional journey.
SOPHE has long been my professional home, and Iām grateful for the mentors, colleagues, and experiences that have shaped my path in public health and health education. This award reflects not just my work, but the many people who have supported, challenged, and inspired me along the way.
Public health is about improving lives and strengthening communities, and I remain deeply committed to helping prepare the next generation of professionals to lead in this important field. Thank you to my colleagues for this honor.

It was a pleasure to join our campus community at this yearās Presidentās Colloquium and to introduce Dr. Christina Papadimitriou, who was selected to share her research and findings.
Christinaās work is a powerful reminder that scholarship is not only about discovery, but itās also about humanity. Her interdisciplinary research brings together voices across fields to advance more inclusive, collaborative, and relationship-centered healthcare. What stood out most is how deeply her work reflects who we are at OU, a community grounded in collaboration, compassion, and curiosity. From her research to her mentorship of students and colleagues, Christina embodies the very best of our academic mission.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for such a thoughtful and engaging conversation. And congratulations to Dr. Papadimitriou on this well-deserved recognition.
