As we welcome 2025, it's the perfect time to reflect on our commitment to health and safety, both personally and professionally. Let's make 2025 a year where we prioritize our health and safety, ensuring a strong and resilient community.

Check out this month's blog post to learn about The 2025 Cascadia Symposium on Environmental, Occupational, and Population Health, which featured speaker Dr. Vivek Shandas who lectured on climate-related health outcomes.

 "The most satisfying thing about teaching any health and safety topic for me is building a solid big-picture framework of course content and seeing students open up and become less self-conscious as they apply the content."
