In February, Humboldt County Health Officer Candy Stockton joined five fellow UC Berkeley Rural Health Innovation Policy Fellows in Washington, D.C to advocate for rural health. The cohort met UC Berkeley alum Lynn Barr and partners at the Coalition for Rural Medicare Equality for a week of high-level meetings and a visit to the National Rural Health Association Policy Institute.

Said Stockton, “The more you can tie things together for the different groups that work in the federal government, the more chance you have of them making a plan that works in the long term."

This annual trip takes place during the second year of Policy Fellows’ 27-month UC Berkeley School of Public Health Online Master of Public Health program.

ACTION NEEDED! 👉 Under the proposed implementation of H.R. 1, many graduate programs—including Master of Public Health (MPH) and Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) degrees—could face restrictive loan caps that fail to cover the cost of a world-class education. 🎓

For UC Berkeley Public Health students, this is a barrier to entry that threatens to deplete our pipeline of future health leaders. By relegating these vital degrees to lower borrowing limits ($20,500/year), we risk pricing out diverse, talented advocates who are needed to solve tomorrow's health equity and pandemic challenges.

The UC Advocacy Network (UCAN) is fighting to pass H.R. 6718, the Professional Student Degree Act, to ensure public health degrees remain accessible.

The Trump administration revoked the EPA’s 2009 Endangerment Finding on February 12, revoking federal authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and clearing the way to roll back auto industry climate rules.

Environmental health experts like UC Berkeley's David J. X. González warn that reduced greenhouse gas regulation will worsen heat, wildfires, drought, and health inequities.

Public health is at risk—and it starts with student aid. 🚨
New federal rules tied to H.R. 1 could slash loan limits for MPH and DrPH students, putting UC Berkeley Public Health—and other top programs—out of reach for many.

Capping loans at $20,500/year threatens our pipeline of diverse, future health leaders—just when we need them most for health equity and pandemic preparedness.

UCAN is pushing Congress to pass H.R. 6718, the Professional Student Degree Act.
