NORA Interdisciplinary Seminar Series
The NORA Interdisciplinary Seminar Series, required for our NIOSH-funded students, was established in 2002 and have been offered quarterly since 2005, typically in the months of February, April, August, and November. The seminars are "live" on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus and also webcast with an archive link available a few days after the seminar. This enables distance education students and others in the broader occupational health and safety community to attend and participate, facilitating discussion of common research interests, networking, and interdisciplinary role integration. Attendees can obtain continuing education units (CEUs) through the UNC-Chapel Hill at a nominal fee after completing an evaluation form. Starting with the August 2009 seminar, CM points from the American Board of Industrial Hygiene for certified industrial hygienists (CIHs) are also available for each seminar at no cost, after completing an evaluation form.
Information about the seminar is sent electronically at least a week prior to the seminar along with the slides and evaluation form.
For additional information or to be added to an email distribution list used only for these seminars, please contact susan.randolph@unc.edu or call 919-966-0979.
