It is an honor to announce Dr. Jennifer Kasper as a recipient of the 2011 Dean’s Community Service Lifetime Achievement Award given by Harvard Medical School for her work with Doctors for Global Health. This award has been established to recognize Harvard Medical School/Harvard School of Dental Medicine faculty, staff and students who have made outstanding efforts to serve the local, national and international community.
