Wright State has a strong interest in promoting worker health and safety.  We accomplish this both by our own university practices as overseen by our Department of Environmental Health & Safety and through our education of students who take courses in occupational safety and health through the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences.  In furtherance of this joint interest, these two departments will be hosting:

American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) chapter meeting,
Wednesday, January 31st, 2007,
11:30 am to 1:00 pm in the Student Union’s Hearth Lounge, (located directly behind “The Wright Cup” Café)

This is the first ASSE chapter meeting to be held at WSU and the topic will be “Animal, Biological, and Radiological Safety in Research at WSU”. 

The local Kitty Hawk Chapter consists of many active professionals in the field of environmental health and safety representing business, services, and agencies throughout the Miami Valley.  The goal of the monthly meeting is to provide informative sessions on interesting topics in the field of environmental health and safety.  For upcoming events, or to learn more, please go to: http://kittyhawk.asse.org/ .

In addition, the Kitty Hawk Chapter is actively working to start a student chapter here at WSU.  Students benefit from the $100K in scholarships awarded annually, national conferences and awards, mentoring from seasoned professionals, ASSE student leadership positions, and the ASSE professional affiliation. 

As an added incentive, the chapter will pay for the student’s first year membership.  Yes, that is correct, membership is free!!   Student ASSE membership applications can be found at:  http://www.asse.org/Studentapp05.pdf .

If you have questions, or would like more information about the student chapter, please contact Joe Whitlock, EHS Office, at 937.775.4131.  For those wishing to attend the January 31st meeting, please note that reservations are required by January 24th to guarantee lunch.  Also, please indicate special diet requirements when making reservations.

We are gearing up for the 2007 Wright State University Relay For Life, but there is still one thing missing...YOU! 

Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society's national and signature event to raise money for cancer research, programs, legislations, and education!  It is an event that Colleges Against Cancer is planning right here at Wright State University.  Our Relay For Life will begin on Friday, April 20 at 6pm and end on Saturday, April 21 at Noon.  It is held overnight to signify CANCER NEVER SLEEPS.  Teams of 10-15 people join together to walk through the journey and support each other through the FIGHT AGAINST CANCER.  There will be games, food, and entertainment all night long! 

Join us in our Team Captains Meeting held Monday, January 29th at 8:00pm in E103 Student Union. Or, if you would like to be on the planning committee, join is at 9:00 pm in E103 Student Union.  Whatever your commitment is...we need YOU!
