What’s Happening in EH&S
Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) distributed its pamphlet, Passbook to Safety – Steps Toward a Safer College Community, during both National Safety Month and 2025 In-Service activities. This pamphlet contained a personal pledge card which participants could complete and send to EH&S to be included in a year-end drawing. EH&S is happy to announce that Tara Gabsi, IAA II for Reading, Writing and English, is the recipient of a Cintas first aid kit, several articles of personal protective equipment, and some seasonal fitness and safety-related items. Congratulations, Tara!
