Our faculty and staff also receive frequent recognition for their excellence in education, research and leadership in public health. While it would be impossible to list every award and honor, our recognition and awards page highlights some of the most recent. Recognition often comes from the news media, too. Our In the News page lists some of the more recent media coverage of our school or its research, faculty, staff and students.
