The Kreuter Katz Lecture and Public Health Research Symposium creates a venue for sharing faculty, staff and student research, and a forum for students to present their research. The 2026 keynote speaker is Dr. Margot Kushel, Professor of Medicine and Director of the University of California San Francisco Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative. Her research focuses on the causes and consequences of homelessness, with the goal of preventing and ending homelessness and ameliorating the effects of homelessness on health. She is the Principal Investigator of the California State Study of People Experiencing Homelessness and numerous studies funded by the National Institute on Aging focused on homelessness in older adults.

This year’s event, held on Tuesday, March 31, will also include Lightning Talks featuring faculty and students, Roundtable Presentations featuring alumni speakers, and a Poster Session and luncheon.
