Celebrating Excellence & Teamwork2010

Congratulations and thank youThis year, we are proud to recognize and celebrate the contributions and achievements of more than 300 individuals and organizations. This includes exceptional faculty and staff, valued colleagues, outstanding students, dedicated community partners and enthusiastic volunteers.

Whether inside the classroom or beyond the walls of our University, these individuals are advancing public health through research, teaching and learning, and community service.

As catalysts of change, they positively influence policy and practice to improve the health of people.

Our volunteers are on the ground—literally and figuratively—supporting activities that uplift people. In 2010, our faculty and students were recognized for their outstanding scholarship and service with more than 100 awards and honours.

Our faculty, staff, students and partners strengthen our faculty, facilitating our work and making it relevant in our community.

We are proud of each one. Collectively, they embody the values of the School of Public Health: excellence, integrity, respect, teamwork, respon-sibility, sustainability and equity.

Together, they are making a mark that will impact health locally and globally.

Be inspired. Read on.
