The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Events Calendar

McGavran-Greenberg Hall

Completed in 1990, the building honors Edward G. McGavran and Bernard George Greenberg, two distinguished faculty members in the School of Public Health. McGavran was dean of the school from 1947 to 1963. While dean, he added three departments (biostatistics, maternal and child health, and mental health), more than quadrupled the number of faculty, and tripled the number of students. In 1949, Greenberg became the founder and first chairman of the biostatistics department. The university named him a Kenan professor in 1969. He served as a government advisor for the polio immunization campaign, for the World Health Organization, and for veterans affairs.
