T
he rise of a global economy, with the concurrent increase in the amount and speed of international transportation, has led to a spread of diseases worldwide. The Harvard School of Public Health has been front and center in addressing this threatening development. The School has been fortunate to have outstanding leaders, including former Deans Harvey Fineberg and Barry Bloom, and the current Dean, Julio Frenk. It is for these reasons that the Monell Foundation has consistently supported the School’s Dean’s Discretionary Fund.
