Last week was Lab Safety Awareness Week!

Lab Safety week is an initiative to recognize the successes of laboratory health and safety programs and provide additional ways to promote safety to campus faculty, staff, and students. 


As part of this year's festivities, Environmental Health & Safety organized 11 Meet and Greet events across various campus buildings, actively encouraging participation in their "lab safety challenge."

The Office of Sustainability and the Healthy Gators Coalition are excited to announce that the nomination period for the 2024 Champions for Change Awards is open now through March 18.
