Albert Schweitzer Award

Albert Schweitzer Award

The Albert Schweitzer Award is given annually to a graduating HSPH student whose past work and current activities have been marked by a “reverence for life” and who has sought, as expressed by Schweitzer, to “make my life my argument.” The selection committee gives special emphasis to service activities undertaken by nominees during the course of their studies at HSPH.

Nominations should be in the form of a letter, describing in detail the relevant work and qualities of the nominee. Please submit all nominations to Student Affairs by April 12, 2013. Nominees will be asked to submit any additional information, such as a resume, by April 19, 2013. Members of the selection committee will interview finalists.
