Breslow Student Fellowship Fund Established 

THE UCLA SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH has launched the Lester 

Breslow Student Fellowship Fund to honor the career of the school’s 

esteemed dean and professor emeritus. The fund will increase the 

School of Public Health’s capacity to offer critical support for its students 

and is part of the UCLA-wide fundraising effort aimed at doubling 

the amount of endowed funds dedicated exclusively to aiding students. 

Beloved by students, alumni and faculty, Breslow is a pillar of the 

public health community. He served as dean of the school from 1972 

to 1980, and is internationally recognized as a leader in disease prevention 

and health behavior intervention. He served as director of public 

health for the State of California and as president of the American 

Public Health Association. He is the recipient of the coveted Lasker 

Award, recognizing extraordinary achievement in health and medical 

science knowledge and practice. 

With proceeds from this year’s Lester Breslow Lecture, and the 

support of so many generous donors (including leadership gifts from 

Dr. Jonathan Fielding, Dean Linda Rosenstock, Peter Reed and the 

Center for Health Improvement), the fund is well on the way to the goal 

of $250,000. 

For more information on the Lester Breslow Student Fellowship 

Fund, please contact the UCLA Development office at (310) 825-6464 

or email maubrey@support.ucla.edu.
