Mike Killeen, President and CEO of Lenz, will again teach a healthcare marketing course at Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health beginning in the spring semester of 2025. This will be Killeen’s eighth consecutive year leading the graduate-level course.
Killeen’s class covers the basic principles of marketing communications — a field in which he’s worked for more than 20 years — as well as strategies and tactics specific to the healthcare industry.
“I’m honored to once again have the opportunity to teach such an important course,” Killeen said. “It’s always wonderful to return to Emory’s campus to serve a new group of ambitious students, who represent the next generation of leaders in the healthcare marketing industry.”
The course will be held Thursday afternoons from January to April.
Killeen received a journalism degree from The University of Georgia and an MBA from Georgia College. He joined Lenz in 2002 and became a partner in 2014.
At Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health, students learn to identify, analyze, and intervene in today’s most pressing public health issues. The public health school’s location in Atlanta, referred to as the “Public Health Capital of the World,” is also home to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CARE, the national home office of the American Cancer Society, The Carter Center, the Arthritis Foundation, numerous state and regional health agencies, and the patient care, teaching, and health-related research programs of Emory University’s Woodruff Health Sciences Center. This setting is ideal for hands-on research, collaborations with the world’s leading public health agencies, and interdisciplinary work with national and international organizations.
