Welcome Statement
Hello Class. Welcome back. I hope the break was enjoyable and refreshing to you.
If you are here, it is because you registered for the Environmental Health Class (or ENVT 2560). I am Dr. Cadet, Your Professor for this online class. Environmental Health is one of my favorite classes to teach. In addition to teaching this class, I have mentored many students in environmental research as well as being active in enforcing environmental regulation for the Department of Health in Illinois and Utah for over 20 years. This class will teach you about the wonderful environment that we live in, our role within it, and how we may impact it for better or for worse. I have enjoyed teaching this course for over 20 years, and I am certain that you will enjoy it as well. We have a lot to cover, so let’s get started.
