Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) and your Infrastructure and Sustainability Inclusive Excellence Committee (ISIEC) hosted an event from 11:30AM - 1:00PM at the Environmental Health & Safety Building (EHSC; 1000 Regent Dr). This was an amazing opportunity to get together with different work groups and meet new people in I&S while learning about some of the amazing work that the EH&S team does for our campus. The event was hosted in the EH&S conference room where wraps, cookies, and refreshments were served.
