Student Spotlight: How did Love Odetola’s international work inspire her pursuit of an MPH?

Recent graduate Love Odetola (MPH 2016) is passionate about eliminating inequities in maternal and child health (MCH). In this Student Spotlight, Odetola–who won the 2016 President’s Student Leadership and Service Award for her local and international leadership and philanthropic work–discusses her pathway to the UMN’s MCH Program and her work with the World Health Organization (WHO).

In 2015, Odetola was the recipient of a Davis Project for Peace grant from the Hawkins Foundation for Peace & Justice to “embark on a maternal/child health and women empowerment project in rural Senegal.”
