Alumni Weekend

Two notable RSPH alumni were honored during Alumni Weekend this past September. Oscar Tarrago, MD, 89MPH, (pictured with his family, bottom right) received the Alumni Distinguished Achievement Award, and Aun Lor, 97MPH, (pictured above with his wife and the parents of Matthew Girvin, 94MPH) received the first annual Matthew Girvin Service Award. Dr. Tarrago has worked on a variety of public health issues, including polio eradication and health risk communications, in rural Mexico, Bosnia, Albania, and Kosovo. He is now a visiting scientist and senior staff fellow at the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry at CDC. Lor, a native of Cambodian who lost many family members to the Khmer Rouge, is now a health scientist/human subjects specialist at CDC. He has worked tirelessly for human rights concerns for a variety of organizations. The award was established to honor Matthew Girvin, 94MPH, who died in January 2001 while on a United Nations surveying mission in China.
