Award recipients were recognized for outstanding achievements in the classroom, in research, and through service to the community.
As part of the celebration, the Delta Omega Honor Society Rho Chapter at UMass Amherst inducted its 2023 cohort of new members into its ranks. The honorary society for the study of public health, Delta Omega encourages excellence in student scholarship and research, recognizes academic achievement, and provides members with leadership development, publication, and networking opportunities. Members are nominated and inducted in faculty, alumni, graduate student and undergraduate student categories.
