Posted on June 16: Open house celebrates McMaster Institute of Environment and Health

The McMaster Institute of Environment and Health will showcase recent and present projects at its first open house on Friday, June 20.

“We are excited by this opportunity to share some of the Institute's recent highlights with the broader McMaster community,” says John Eyles, Institute director. “We are now in our twelfth year of existence as a university research institute. In that time, we have undertaken many research projects and contracts as well as developing a post-professional diploma and outreach program. Several recent projects will be showcased in poster presentations”

In addition to research, the Institute offers a post-professional diploma program in Environmental Health, which is ideally suited for public health unit professionals, physicians, community health nurses, environmental industrial professionals and those in labour and non-governmental organizations dealing with environmental health issues. The program is designed to provide new and/or upgraded skills and knowledge in the environmental health area to individuals with a university degree or certification in a relevant field.

The open house will be held from 3:30 to 6 p.m. on Friday, June 20, in the Institute, Burke Science Building, B150.
