MS Environmental Health student, Justin Bunn, won the AEHAP Student Research Competition Award for his work on the investigations into barrier spray efficacy for mosquito control in Eastern North Carolina. He will receive a $1000 award plus travel expenses paid to attend the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) Annual Educational Conference and Exhibition in Grand Rapids, Michigan on July 10-13, 2017.  Justin will be carrying our oral and poster presentations titled “Impact of barrier sprays on the spatial distribution of mosquitoes in a suburban neighborhood in eastern North Carolina” at the NEHA Conference.  This is the 5th consecutive year that our EH Program had one of our EH students win this award.

UPDATE (May 1, 2017): Justin was featured in the “First Monday” May 2017 issue, a monthly newsletter from the ECU Provost of the Division of Academic Affairs that provides updates across the university.
