Nominations being accepted for Outstanding Public Health Faculty awards

Last year, the Student Association of Public Health (SAPH) partnered with the School of Public Health Dean’s Office and Office of Student/Academic Affairs to create two new awards to recognize outstanding faculty members. These awards pay tribute to outstanding Public Health professors for their teaching inside the classroom. They will continue to be awarded each year at the end of the academic year and will be fully selected by the student body. The awards will be presented at a luncheon that will be hosted in April 2020. If you have someone you would like to nominate, the form is quick and easy. To nominate a professor, tell us your name and program of study along with the name of the faculty member you want to nominate for the award. Additionally, we’re asking you to provide a few short sentences detailing why you think the person is the best fit for the award (examples from class that stand out to you). For more information, and to complete your nomination, see below:
