how to organize existing programs into a useful environmental management
system (EMS) at a college, university, or other laboratory-based
organization.  You can choose to attend the conference, the workshop, or
both. 

 

The seminar will highlight effective management approaches for selected EH&S
program components and for responding to emerging issues that are impacting
higher education across the nation.  A featured presenter is Dr. Mark
