These include cutting edge research such as being carried out at Georgia Tech, major global pharmaceutical companies, and growing pharmaceutical capacity in fast growing economies like Brazil, India, and China.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EEqually important to the achievement of sustainable development is the mobilization of communities, the emergence of community ownership, the strengthening of health delivery systems, and the use of data to measure achievement of objections and to identify and overcome barriers to implementation.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBiographical Note:\u003C\/strong\u003E After graduating from Williams College (1955) and the University of Rochester School of Medicine (1960), I spent two years as\u0026nbsp;a CDC Epidemic Intelligence (EIS)\u0026nbsp;Officer assigned to the Indian Health Service in Arizona. In addition to my main responsibility\u0026nbsp;for examining 10,000 school children per year for trachoma (25% were positive), I had the opportunity to investigate other health emergencies as they arose: Plague, Rabies, Measles, Shigella, Food Poisoning, Kerato Conjuntivitis (Philadelphia, Talequah Oklahoma, and La Paz Bolivia), Diabetes in Pima Indians, and Rotavirus in the Truck Islands in the South Pacific. In 1966, I was invited to join CDCs new Smallpox Eradication Program. Our family spent 4 years in Nigeria (1966-1970) and 4 years in Bangladesh (1972-1976) working with national health workers to eradicate smallpox. In 1977, I spent three months living with nomads in Somalia (the last smallpox epidemic country in the world). Smallpox was eradicated from the world in 1979.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFrom 1980 to 1994, I worked with the International Health Program Office at CDC in its Combating Childhood Communicable Disease Project (CCCD).\u0026nbsp; We worked with 10 African countries to improve the health and survival of children under 5\u0026nbsp;through strengthening their capacity to prevent and treat diseases. We focused on prevention (immunization, malaria chemoprophylaxis of women); case management of the three priority killers of children (malaria, pneumonia, and diarrhea); communicating health behaviors, strengthening health information systems; and operations research. During this period, I taught managment and policy at the emerging School of Public Health.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI joined the Global Health Faculty in 1994 where I have taught GH501 (Global Policy; Priorities, Policies, Programs; and most recently Global Health Challenges and Opportunities) in the fall; GH572 - Community Transformation in the winter; and Evidence Based Strategic Planning (a case study of Oromia Region in Ethiopia) in the spring.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOn April 17, 2013 I gave my Last Leacture (50 Years of Public Health, Lessons Learned, and Visions for the Future). I am greatful to all that make up the Rollins School of Public Health and the Hubert Department of Global Health for the opportunity to partner with learners, staff, and faculty in developing the next genereation of global health leaders.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHONORS\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERollins School of Public Health Distinguished Achievement Award\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EEmory Williams Distinguished Teaching Award - Emory University (2010)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDory Storms Award for Contributions to NGO Child Survival Projects (2008)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWilliams College Bicentennial Medal (2006)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAPHA: Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in International Health (2003)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThomas Sellers Award (2002)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERollins School of Public Health: Professor of Year (1996)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWilliam C.
