Chair Chatter

Keep up to date with all that is going on in the Department of Environmental Health with the weekly Chair Chatter.

This week’s message from the chair is:

It was wonderful to see all of our graduates from 2020, 2021, and 2022, their families, friends, and loved ones last week. After two years of COVID restrictions it was terrific to celebrate their great achievements. For some of us and some of these graduates, it was the first time to meet their colleagues, faculty, and staff in person!

You can see photos from the EH Commencement Celebration here behind the Harvard Key. If you have any pictures you would like to share, please send them to eh-chatter@hsph.harvard.edu and we will add them to this website.

Last week we specifically congratulated our 2022 graduates and this week we extend our congratulations to our 2020 and 2021 graduates listed below.

Congratulations to Greg Wagner who received the John Peters Award from the Assembly on Environmental, Occupational and Population Health at the annual American Thoracic Society Meeting last week. This award is given “In appreciation of a lifetime of leadership, research, and devoted service to the pursuit of respiratory health.” This award was established in memory of John Peters (MPH 1964, DSc 1966) who was a professor in our department and led our occupational health program until 1980.

Over the summer we will be publishing the Chair Chatters less frequently, but please still do continue to send your updates to eh-chatter@hsph.harvard.edu and remember to follow us on twitter @HarvardEnvHlth
