CSTE 75th Anniversary

This year, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) is proud to celebrate its 75th Anniversary. For three-quarters of a century, CSTE has been the backbone of public health. From the frontlines of historic outbreaks to the quiet persistence of daily data collection and disease monitoring, CSTE members have protected the safety and health of communities across the U.S. Our goal for this milestone is simple: Honor our past and celebrate our future. CSTE’s 75th anniversary is a moment to educate about the importance of applied epidemiology as well as CSTE’s role in establishing and developing the field.






Help CSTE celebrate 75 years!

As part of CSTE’s 75th anniversary celebration activities, we are asking members to help add to our archives! We are looking for photos of members through the years—at Annual Conference, out in the field, at the national office, at other meetings, or in any other setting.

You can scan in old photos and attach them below or upload digital photos. If you have other artifacts that you’d like to be a part of CSTE’s archives, or if you need assistance with submitting your photos, please contact communications@cste.org.
