Communication of environmental sustainability health and safety (ESHS) information and issues is critical for awareness, information, and action. Students develop skill in reporting and conveying ESHS and scientific information internally to the organization and externally to the public or regulating agencies. Students also gain an understanding of the role of the media and public relations in the environmental communication process. Students learn strategies and formats for communicating safety information, especially in procedures and instructional materials. Writing and speaking skills are sharpened for successful business, media and crisis communication.

This is a faculty-designed capstone team project course for 5th year ESHS students. It presents students with one or more identified EHS need(s) and challenges them to work together to plan, schedule, and carry out a project to design and develop socially responsible and environmentally sustainable solutions. The project may vary from offering to offering reflecting current trends and developments.
