Our Mission

Our Mission

The Department of Environmental and Global Health is committed to the continued improvement and protection of the health of all people through global leadership in research, training and service. Air, soil, and water are factors that threaten health that are rarely contained within artificially drawn political borders. Thus, environmental health is global. It is our goal to explore and examine its global dimensions fully.
