Student Spotlight: Katherine Lang, Public Health ’26
“I always wanted to be in a career where I felt like I was genuinely helping others. After my sophomore year, I realized that I wanted to be involved in the healthcare sphere but I didn’t necessarily want to practice medicine.

Eventually I hope to combine my background in public health with a law degree and work in healthcare administration.”
