Plaque installation honors Schweitzer Award winners

A plaque honoring past recipients of the Albert Schweitzer Award was unveiled at a Feb. 23 ceremony in the lobby of the François Xavier-Bagnoud Building at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH). These awards, inaugurated by the late HSPH Professor Jonathan Mann, recognize graduating students whose work most embodies Schweitzer’s ethic of “reverence for life.”
