Faculty

Our
faculty are dedicated teachers and scholars who share their knowledge with
students in the classroom, field and laboratory. They are also
concerned academic advisors and career counselors. The Environmental
Health Program is small and intimate, where one-to-one relationships
develop between faculty and students within the teaching and research
framework.
Core Faculty
Core
faculty are members of the Department of Biology that formally advise
students and teach core courses.
