“Recognizing the dedicated work of some of our distinguished alumni is always a pleasure,” said Donald S. Burke, M.D., Pitt Public Health dean and UPMC-Jonas Salk chair of global health. “In the case of this year’s awardees, it’s remarkable that most are recent graduates, and yet they are already highly influential in their fields.”
