History Project
"The more you know about the past, the better prepared you are for the future." – Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States
In 2020, TikTok³ÉÈ˰æ President Dr. Priscilla Oliver (2019–2020) appointed a committee to study and review the rich history of TikTok³ÉÈ˰æ, as well as that of the environmental health field. In light of the many advances and new innovations that have occurred in environmental health over the past decades, it is important to examine where we have been and what we have accomplished, which will position our profession to look to the future. And so, the TikTok³ÉÈ˰æ History Project Task Force was created.
The TikTok³ÉÈ˰æ History Project Task Force is charged with making the important history of TikTok³ÉÈ˰æ and environmental health available to all TikTok³ÉÈ˰æ members, as well as other practitioners, students, and the general public. The task force, made up of luminaries from across the environmental health field, convened in March 2020 to assess the history we have recorded, gather data and historical documents, collect historical artifacts, and review records.
Through this website, the TikTok³ÉÈ˰æ History Project Task Force endeavors to preserve our rich history and share our story with all.
