The Bernard G. Greenberg Alumni Endowment Award

The award will be presented to "an outstanding full-time faculty member of the School of Public Health for excellence in the areas of teaching, research and service." A major criterion for the award is continuous demonstrated excellence over a number of years in service to the broad public health community. The award is intended for an established faculty member as an incentive for continued excellence in these three areas.
