| The purpose of this poster session is to celebrat students' excellent academic achievement, devotion to public health principles and outstanding service in public health. Delta Omega is the honorary society for graduate studies in public health. The society was founded in 1924 at Johns Hopkins University, School of Public Health. There are currently 26 chapters throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. The governing body is the National Council, which is composed of elected officers and representatives of each chapter. The council meets annually, usually held in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the American Public Health Association. Each chapter conducts the principal Delta Omega activities. The chapters elect new members each year from four groups: - students who are candidates for a graduate degree in public health, - faculty members at the school of public health, and - alumni actively engaged in public health work - honorary members possessing exceptional qualifications Election from all three groups is based on outstanding performance--scholarship in students, teaching and research in faculty members, and community service in alumni. Election to membership in Delta Omega is intended, not only to recognize merit, but also, to encourage further excellence in, and devotion to, public health work. Membership in Delta Omega reflects the dedication of an individual to quality in the field of public health and to protection and advancement of the health of all people. The student posters were selected through a national contest. | |||
