Updating You on NIOSH’s Health Hazard Evaluation

Dear faculty, staff and graduate students:

I am pleased to share that the university was notified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) that the Health Hazard Evaluation (HHE) related to Poe Hall will move forward. This follows the news we received in April from NIOSH that the HHE had been closed due to a federal reduction in force. 

This is a welcome development for our community. I’m grateful that NIOSH will resume its evaluation to provide answers related to Poe Hall. When we have additional updates to share, you will be the first to know. 

Thank you.

Kevin Howell
