In the November 2013 External Advisory Board meeting for the IH academic program, students met with John Henshaw, board member and former Assistant Secretary of Labor and OSHA Director. Dr. Henshaw discussed leadership and answered questions students had about their upcoming industrial hygiene career.
I3HSA Student Week Activities
In February of 2014, students organized a week of activities to introduce students in the college and across campus to the field of industrial hygiene. This week included fundraising efforts, with support from Iowa City businesses, to raise money for Heifer International. Money raised from bake sale, raffle tickets, and donations raised $480, enough to purchase the "Knitters Basket" through Heifer (llama, alpaca, sheep and Angora rabbit). http://www.heifer.org/gift-catalog/animals-nutrition/knitters-gift-basket-donation.html
2014 Jeopardy
The gauntlet was thrown and the Faculty carried the "More Cow Bell" team to victory in the 2014 OEH Jeopardy challenge.
Deirdre Green played "Alex" and Elanie Girlando was the score keeper. The most often exam questions missed on Occ Health (the previous semester) were asked in the "had you paid attention" category. We have learned that the "older faculty" could not all volunteer to be on the same team, as they knew way too much about the University of Iowa to make it a fare competition.
