Mission & Vision

Building bridges between the research community of the Southwest Environmental Health Sciences Center and the general public as well as the K-12 community is our goal. To this end we review, develop, and disseminate quality environmental health science K-12 curricula, plus develop and host K-12 teacher training workshops. We communicate with the community about local and common environmental health science concerns and share research results from SWEHSC investigators. To do this we also reach outside the University of Arizona and develop, maintain, and utilize partnerships with local, state, and federal agencies and organizations.
