World Environmental Health Day 2017 at ECU

World Environmental Health Day (WEHD) was celebrated at East Carolina University for the 2nd year on September 26, 2017 by the ECU Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) Program, along with the International Federation of Environmental Health (IFEH) and the rest of the world.  The theme for this year is “Indoor and Outdoor Air Quality”.  Posters on various topics on environmental health, prepared both by faculty and students from the EHS program, were displayed for the whole day at the 1st floor corridors of Carol Belk Building. Slideshows were also made available for viewing for the entire day at the Belk Building lobby monitor.  The highlight of this event was the panel discussion wherein ECU EHS alumni and an MS Environmental Health (MSEH) graduate student discussed about their history with the ECU BSEH/MSEH Programs, their career accomplishments or career goals, and how the ECU BSEH/MSEH Programs have helped or are helping them in their careers or career goals.  This WEHD event aims to promote and increase the awareness on the field of environmental health among ECU students, faculty and staff.  These activities at ECU, together with others around the world, are also published on the IFEH WEHD Webpage.
