Curran |city=Atlanta| |state=Georgia| |country=USA| |campus=Suburban| |website= {{URL|https://www.sph.emory.edu/}} }} The Rollins School of Public Health is the public health school of Emory University. Founded in 1990, Rollins has more than 1,100 students pursuing master's degrees (MPH/MSPH) and over 150 students pursuing doctorate degrees (PhD). The school comprises six departments: Behavioral Sciences/Health Education (BSHE), Biostatistics (BIOS), Environmental Health (EH), Epidemiology (EPI), Global Health (GH), and Health Policy and Management (HPM), as well as an Executive MPH program (EMPH). In addition to pursuing degrees from a single department, students may also participate in joint programs, both within Rollins and in conjunction with other professional schools at Emory (including Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, Emory University School of Law, and Goizueta Business School). Unique programs to Rollins are Global Environmental Health, Global Epidemiology, and the joint EH/EPI MSPH program. One of the founding fathers of Rollins was Dr. David Sencer, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from 1966 to 1977 and New York City Health Commissioner from 1981 to 1985.[1][2][3][4] In his honor, the David Sencer Scholarship Fund was established at Rollins in 2008.[5] Rollins continues to be closely affiliated with CDC, along with multiple other public health institutions, such as the Emory Global Health Institute.[6] ReputationIn the most recent rankings (2020), Rollins was ranked the number 5 school of public health by U.S. News & World Report,[7] and is one of two schools of public health founded in the past 50 years to be ranked in the top 12. A large number of Rollins professors are regularly featured in the media. For example, Professor Alan Hinman was the head of the Immunizations division at CDC for a decade, and he is considered to be one of the nation's top vaccination experts.[8] Professor Saad Omer is featured in the national media as an vaccination expert as well.[9] During the Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa, Emory University Hospital, in concert with experts from Rollins, became the leading treatment center for Ebola patients in America.[10][11] LocationAtlanta is commonly referred to as the world's public health capital,[12] and with good reason— the primary office of the CDC is located next door to Rollins, and there are a large number of other public health groups (consulting, NGO, and informatics-related) located across the city, such as Deloitte and CARE (relief agency). Notable persons
Rollins familyThe school is named for O. Wayne Rollins, a self-made business entrepreneur and innovator who participated in numerous ventures with his brother, John W. Rollins. Several members of the Rollins family have served on the Emory University Board of Trustees. On July 9, 2007, the O. Wayne Rollins Foundation and Grace Crum Rollins donated $50 million to the School. The donation doubled the school's physical structure, adding {{convert|160000|sqft|m2}}. It was one of the largest donations to a public health school in the history of higher education. The expansion was completed in May 2010 and the new building was dedicated on October 6, 2010.[14] See also
