Doctor of Public Health

Dear friends this is what happened to me this past Sunday may 23, 2010 in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Excerpt from Vincent Maniaci, President of the American International College, citation:
Harold E. Robles, you are truly a man of the world holding duel citizenship in both the Netherlands and in the United States. Having been inspired by the humanitarian work of Albert Schweitzer at the tender age of eight, you went on to adopt his philosophy of “reverence for life” as your own.
Doctor Robles, your awards and recognitions are numerous and impressive. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation recognized your work in advancing public health systems; you were nominated for the Bill and Melinda Gates Global Health Award; Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands knighted you; and Legacy International recently gave you its International Humanitarian Award at Virginia Tech University. Additionally, we are proud to note that you are a Distinguished Visiting Professor of Public Health, Education and the Humanities at American International College.
Now, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Board of Trustees of American International College, I herby confer upon you the degree of Doctor of Public Health, honoris causa, with all the rights, honors, and privileges pertaining thereunto.
