Walden alumni are creating and championing change in communities across the U.S. In this segment of our Faces of Walden series, you’ll be introduced to five Walden graduates who are making a difference in each of these five categories: ADVOCATE, CATALYST, CHANGE AGENT, INNOVATOR, and VISIONARY.
You’ll meet Dr. Anne Lee, an inventor and award-winning cybersecurity expert from Los Angeles, and Dr. Mary Hossley, DNP, of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, who has spent countless hours registering thousands of older adults to receive COVID-19 vaccines.
Meanwhile, in Wilmington, Delaware, Cecelia Rich is leveraging her MPA to help fight food insecurity in her community by transforming a vacant lot into a productive urban garden. And in St. Louis, Dr. Alyce Herndon has created a transformational network of female entrepreneurs, helping to build sustainable enterprises and generational wealth for communities of color.
Finally, you’ll meet Dr. Stephaun Wallace, a leading U.S. epidemiologist who has been at the forefront of the country’s COVID-19 response in Seattle. His work has helped achieve unprecedented levels of diversity in the vaccine trials, building a more equitable process to include disproportionately affected populations.
These alumni embody the Walden mission for social good; it’s our honor to share their stories with you.
Dr. Stephaun Wallace envisions a world where high-quality healthcare is accessible to all. And every day, this Walden PhD in Public Health graduate takes steps toward that more equitable future, most recently as a leading epidemiologist at the center of COVID-19 vaccine development in the United States.
