About the Awards

The Distinguished Alumni Awards are the highest awards given to alumni by the Graduate School of Public Health. Recipients of the Distinguished Alumni Award are Pitt Public Health alumni who have made a significant contribution to the field of public health, to the school, or to both.

In 2012, Pitt Public Health added several categories to the Distinguished Alumni Award. Now, four alumni receive these competitive awards annually:
• Teaching and Dissemination, presented annually to an alumnus who has made significant contribution to education and dissemination, either in the classroom or in the field
• Research, presented annually to an alumnus who has made significant contribution to research
• Practice, presented annually to an alumnus who has made significant contribution to public health practice
• The Margaret F. Gloninger Service Award, presented annually to a Pitt Public Health alumnus who has made a significant contribution to the school or community through volunteer service. This award was established in honor of the late Margaret Fitzgerald Gloninger (MSHyg '66), Pitt Public Health graduate and former faculty member in maternal and child health.
