Environmental Health and Toxicology Community Outreach and Education
We inform the public, K-12 educators, and environmental health professionals about environmental health sciences and toxicology issues through workshops, online papers, and K-12 programs, in the classroom and online.

The University of Arizona KEYS (K-12 Engaging Youth in Science) Research Internship offers six-week summer internships to highly motivated high school students who have a strong interest in pursuing advanced education or training in the bioscience or biomedical fields. This past summer, we completed our 2nd Annual KEYS Internship.
