Alumni
The Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) Alumni Association was established in the mid 1960s by a group of alumni that includes John C. Greene, D.M.D., M.P.H., EIS '56; Donald A. Henderson, M.D., M.P.H., EIS '55; Neal Nathanson, M.D., EIS '55; Robert W. Sappenfield, M.D., EIS '51; and Paul F. Wehrle, M.D., EIS '51. Today, the Alumni Association represents more than 2,000 graduates worldwide and provides the means for alumni to get connected and stay connected with the EIS program and other former EIS officers.
The EIS Alumni Association attempts to foster a spirit of loyalty to the EIS program through its activities. Each year members are encouraged to nominate individuals for the Friend of EIS Award, which is awarded to a person who has made significant contributions to the EIS program and its participants. Additionally, the Association's Executive Committee reviews submissions and selects a winner for the prestigious Alexander D. Langmuir Prize. This award is presented to an EIS officer who submits the most outstanding manuscript covering an epidemiologic investigation or study. Other activities include conducting the annual EIS Alumni Association meeting to be held in conjunction with the EIS Annual Conference, as well as general support of the EIS Program Office.
