@theForefront | Colorado School of Public Health

Congratulations to the 2013 Delta Omega Alpha Upsilon Chapter inductees. Delta Omega is the national public health honorary society, representing over 14,000 members across 70 chapters, including the Alpha Upsilon Chapter at the Colorado School of Public Health. Inductees are selected for their outstanding contributions to public health education, research and practice.

The distribution cycle of the @theForefront e-newsletter will transition from weekly to monthly during the summer months.

Annually the Colorado School of Public Health announces names of faculty, students and community partners whose past contributions rose to the level of excellence. This year the School is pleased to announce the following individuals as 2012-2013 School Award Recipients. These individuals will be formally recognized during the annual Convocation ceremony Thursday, May 23 from 3-5 pm in the Anschutz Medical Campus Education Building 2 Auditorium.

In five years since opening the Colorado School of Public Health more than 500 public health professionals count themselves among the school’s alumni, including those who graduated from predecessor programs at CU and UNC. For many of these alumni, giving back to the school is a part of their daily professional lives – mentoring students, guest lecturing, even collaborating on research.

Building an endowed program or scholarship begins with the generosity of a donor. And from the moment a gift or pledge is committed, a new opportunity is created to touch the life and education of a Colorado School of Public Health student. This year the school is honored to recognize the generosity of four donors whose personal contributions are building opportunities for students across the school.
