Ruth Ella Moore inducted into Office of Diversity and Inclusion Hall of Fame

Ohio State alumna Ruth Ella Moore 1926 BS, '27 MA, '33 PhD was inducted into the Ohio State Office of Diversity and Inclusion Hall of Fame in June 2021 as one of 10 inaugural honorees. Moore (1903-1994) was the first Black American woman to earn a PhD in the natural sciences, delivering her doctoral dissertation at Ohio State on the bacteriology of tuberculosis. Though Ohio State didn’t have a College of Public Health in 1933, bacteriology was — from the mid-1910s through World War II — the foundational science of public health research and practice. A lifelong public health practitioner and leader in her discipline, Moore’s work contributed to the understanding and decline of tuberculosis in the U.S., and she went on to make further scientific breakthroughs studying blood types, antibiotics and tooth decay. In 1952, she made history once more after becoming the first woman to head a department at Howard University, where she led the Department of Bacteriology. She was also the first Black person to join the American Society for Microbiology. Today, Moore’s spirit lives on in the Ohio State College of Public Health Ruth Ella Moore First Generation Student Scholarship, which will provide one or more scholarships to students who are first-generation or trailblazing in their educational pursuits. It was created to support those students who have overcome substantial educational or economic obstacles. Read more: https://cph.osu.edu/news/2021/06/ruth...
