Department of Epidemiology

Alumni

Welcome to the Department of Epidemiology's alumni website! The UM SPH Department of Epidemiology was founded in 1942 with Dr. Thomas Francis Jr. as chair, making ours one of the oldest epidemiology departments in the country. In over 60 years of the department's existence we have granted masters and doctoral degrees to almost 2000 students, generating a richly diverse group of alumni. The department has also grown substantially over time; in 1945 we graduated five students, and in 2005 sixty-nine students graduated, reflecting the tremendous increase in students, faculty, research, and resources in the department.

We consider our alumni a valuable asset and want to keep you informed about the many activities of the Department of Epidemiology. As the department continues to grow, we wish to create more opportunities for our students during their graduate training and afterwards as they head out into the job market. As such, we would like to hear from you if your workplace might sponsor a summer internship for an epidemiology graduate student (PDF, 7MB) or if you have potential job openings for our graduates. There are several epidemiology scholarship funds to which you may contribute. We hope to significantly increase participation in departmental giving. Finally, we always appreciate you sending us highly qualified students who may wish to pursue graduate studies in epidemiology at a great institution like the University of Michigan School of Public Health.
