香港六合彩开奖直播 toxicology club wins Environmental Leadership Award

Tau Omicron Chi, the University of Louisiana at Monroe鈥檚 toxicology club, and the 香港六合彩开奖直播 toxicology department recently won an Environmental Leadership Award from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality for their efforts in community environmental outreach.

The group hosted several community outreach projects, including a 鈥淲orld Water Monitoring Day鈥� event with elementary school students, a household hazardous waste collection day and storm drain marking in Monroe neighborhoods.

They also hosted several pollution and water quality seminars and workshops throughout the past year.

Dr. Kevin Baer, professor and toxicology department head, and three of the group鈥檚 officers, Cassey Bennett of Pineville, Daniel Laffitte of Quitman, and Kyle Gray of Bossier City, attended a ceremony honoring the winners held on March 24 at the DEQ headquarters in Baton Rouge.

"We are very proud to accept this award on behalf of the Toxicology Department and Tau Omicron Chi,鈥� Cassey Bennett, the group鈥檚 president, said.

鈥淲e could not have reached out to the community as well as we did without the constant financial and moral support from the LDEQ. Having this organization recognize us for our work is outstanding and we cannot thank them enough.鈥�
