  • Student accomplishments:  Learn about changes to the Public Health Student Association inspired by an EOH student; earning an all-expenses-paid trip to Amsterdam; as well as student milestones and research topics.
  • Publications and presentations:  The topics our faculty and staff published on this winter include: kidney disease from occupational exposures; food animals and antibiotic resistance; and the hazards of living near mining sites.  Presentations made my faculty included talks on domestic animals and childhood diarrhea and new materials for healthier buildings.
