Alumni awards
By supporting your fellow alumni, you highlight the critical work and impact our graduates make in the field of public health.
Each fall, our alumni board calls for nominations to recognize two alumni in the categories of Early Careerist or Distinguished Alumni. After all nominations are received, our alumni board reviews the nominations with pride, as it is an opportunity to learn about how our Fairbanks family is contributing in the workplace, and as mentors and volunteers.
Nominations roll over from year to year and remain active for three years.
Congratulations to our 2024 Alumni Award winners
Early Careerist, Gary Brumitt, PhD'24
Distinguished Alumni, Wright Lassiter III, MHA'94
Description of the video:
The Fairbanks School of Public Health annually seeks nominations for alumni who have distinguished themselves in their careers or service to the school and/or Indiana University Indianapolis.
To recognize the diverse talent trained by IU over the years, an alumni of the Fairbanks School of Public Health is defined as a graduate of any program now housed within the school. This includes alumni with degrees awarded for programs previously housed within the IU School of Medicine or the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at IU Indianapolis.
Award recipients will be recognized during the school’s Scholarship and Alumni Award Luncheon each fall and they must be present to receive the award.
Submit your Alumni Award nominationBeing a first-generation student ... I was not really exposed to the number of careers out there. ... I had never heard about community health or public health.
