Alumni Awards

The school’s alumni awards are the highest given to alumni by the Graduate School of Public Health in recognition of significant contributions to the field, to the school, or to both. Each year, outstanding alumni from the master’s and doctoral programs at Pitt Public Health are chosen to be recognized with an award in one of the following categories:

DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI AWARDS FOR...
PRACTICE: Presented annually to an alumnus/na who has made a significant contribution to public health practice.
RESEARCH: Presented annually to an alumnus/na who has made a significant contribution to research.
TEACHING AND DISSEMINATION: Presented annually to an alumnus/na who has made a significant contribution to education and dissemination, either in the classroom or in the field.

THE MARGARET F. GLONINGER SERVICE AWARD is presented annually since 1993 to an alumnus/na who has made a significant contribution to the school or greater 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.

THE EARLY CAREER EXCELLENCE AWARD is presented to an alumnus/na who has made significant achievements early in his or her career.
