The College of Public Health at George Mason University is proud to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the establishment of the Gamma Tau chapter of The Delta Omega Honorary Society in Public Health. Delta Omega’s mission is to promote excellence in the field of public health and improve the health of individuals both domestically and internationally.
During induction ceremonies, Delta Omega recognizes graduate and undergraduate students who have excelled academically. Over the past decade, Mason has inducted 108 Master’s students, 39 undergraduate students, and two faculty members (Dr. Laura Poms and Dr. Lila Fleming) into the Gamma Tau chapter of Delta Omega. This year, the chapter will be inducting its first cohort of PhD students, further expanding its reach in honoring academic achievements in public health.
Carolyn Drews-Botsch, professor and chair of Global and Community Health, highlighted the significance of having a Delta Omega chapter at Mason in recognizing the academic excellence of students and faculty. The College continues to excel in public health education, research, and practice, with its students serving as a testament to its success.
The impact of Delta Omega can be seen in the accomplishments of its alumni.
