University of Houston – Clear Lake
Graduate, B.S., Environmental Science
"My program was going through the accreditation process, so my professors discussed in great detail the importance of an accredited industrial hygiene and safety program and the benefits to students of graduating from an accredited program.
They explained the criteria and asked students to become actively involved in the process. A group of us started a student organization called the Society of Industrial Hygienists and Safety Professionals, which introduced prospective students to the fields, and promoted networking and job spotting. I was the first student president to sit on the board for a local chapter nationwide.
Going through the stringent process of becoming an ABET-accredited program definitely changed my view of the institution I will select for my master's degree."
