Tulane University's School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine will mark its 100th birthday this weekend with discussions of topics such as disasters, infectious diseases, changing health-care systems and the impact of Tuesday's election on the health-care system. A registration form and a schedule are online.
The per-person fee ranges from $50 for students to $375 for people who want to attend every event. In addition to discussions and speeches, the schedule includes a Friday-night party at Rock 'n' Bowl and a Saturday-night gala at the Monteleone Hotel.
Among the speakers are?Florence Duperval Guillaume, Haiti's minister of population and health; Dr. Peter Piot, director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine; John Hay, a former U.S. ambassador to Suriname; Dr. Harrison Spencer, a former dean of the school; and Dr. Karen DeSalvo, New Orleans' health commissioner.
The school was launched in 1912 as the School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine with a $25,000 donation from Samuel Zemurray, the head of United Fruit Co. In 1919, it was made a department within Tulane's medical school, and a graduate division of public health was created in 1958.
The school acquired its present name in 1967.
