Kristi Sprowl (Class of 2016) CSUDH Alumna Helps the Public Stay Healthy: During her first meeting as a member of the McNair Scholars Program, CSUDH alumna was asked how she would impact the world if given the chance. Her answer: “I would like to create opportunities for people of color to live in equitable spaces, and also be a part of what health equity looks like for them.” Today, after years of hard work and study, Sprowl is living her dream as the community impact director for the American Heart Association in Atlanta, Ga., while simultaneously working towards a doctorate of public health at the University of Georgia.
