Biostatistician personifies public health excellence

December 9, 2011

The Dr. Charles R. Hatcher, Jr. Award

In 1996, The Rollins School of Public Health recognized Dr. Charles R. Hatcher, Jr., the Vice President for Health Affairs and Director of The Robert W. Woodruff Health Sciences Center, for his long service and support of public health. In his honor, the Dr. Charles R. Hatcher, Jr. Award was created to honor faculty members of the Health Sciences Center who, through their lifetime of work, exemplify excellence in public health.

Serving 35 years as an Emory biostatistician easily qualifies Michael Kutner for a place in Rollins history.

Kutner's career is intertwined with the founding of the school and the growth of biostatistics as an integral part of health sciences research.

For his accomplishments, the school presented Kutner with the Charles R. Hatcher Jr. M.D. Award for Excellence in Public Health. Kutner is the ninth recipient of the award, named in honor of Hatcher for his commitment to public health. Hatcher, the award’s first recipient, was instrumental in the creation of the School of Public Health as Emory’s vice president for health affairs.
