Today is Children’s Environmental Health Day!
This day celebrates the Children’s Environmental Health (CEH) movement, raising awareness and inspiring action to address the environmental threats to our children’s health, well-being, and future. It’s a reminder that our collective efforts can create a healthier planet and opportunities for our children to grow and thrive. At Indiana University’s School of Public Health-Bloomington, the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health (EOH) leads the way in advancing CEH research and training the next generation of CEH professionals.

We also offer two specialized courses and a Ph.D. minor in CEH.
