Angle and EPA Southeast Region 4 Administrator Daniel Blackman took place in the University Center UC Foundation Room on the UTC campus.<\/p>\n<p>EPA Region 4, based in Atlanta, serves Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and six federally funded Native American Tribes.<\/p>\n<p>The five-year commitment between UTC and EPA Region 4 is for both parties to recognize many possible benefits of an enhanced partnership, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>UTC faculty and students being invited to participate in EPA public policy forums, presentations, seminars and other public events.<\/li>\n<li>EPA participation in career fairs and other outreach with UTC students, faculty and alumni regarding employment opportunities.<\/li>\n<li>In accordance with its mission and purpose, EPA may assist UTC in advancing environmental education through distance learning technology.<\/li>\n<li>EPA staff may voluntarily participate in UTC lectures, webinars, conferences and other events.<\/li>\n<li>Collaboration on methods of increasing interest in careers protecting human health and the environment as well as awareness about publicly available recruitment and environmental education opportunities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThis MOU really is formalizing something that\u2019s been in existence for many years, and we appreciate the opportunity and the commitment to engage students in these activities,\u201d Angle said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a public university, that is part of our mission: to help the quality of life of people of Tennessee. And we appreciate the partnership to be able to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blackman echoed those thoughts as he began his remarks. \u201cThe best analogy I could use is, when you say we\u2019ve been working together for a while, you date somebody long enough to put a ring on it, right? So this is one of those times when we\u2019re formalizing a relationship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis MOU today speaks in support of UTC\u2019s mission and the leadership that is represented here by each and every one of you, including the students.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_46321\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"46321\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2022\/11\/utc-epa-ink-mou\/dsc06369\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/11\/DSC06369.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"937,1280\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1667480676&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DSC06369\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/11\/DSC06369-750x1024.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-46321 \" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/11\/DSC06369-750x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Dawn Ford, assistant professor in the UTC MPH program.\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/11\/DSC06369-750x1024.jpg 750w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/11\/DSC06369-768x1049.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/11\/DSC06369-580x792.jpg 580w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/11\/DSC06369-610x833.jpg 610w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/11\/DSC06369-1125x1536.jpg 1125w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/11\/DSC06369-1499x2048.jpg 1499w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/11\/DSC06369.jpg 937w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Dawn Ford, assistant professor in the UTC MPH program.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Through a grant from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, the UTC Master of Public Health program is currently testing drinking water for lead in licensed childcare centers in Hamilton, Bradley and Marion counties. The lead testing project, led by Dr. Dawn Ford, is affiliated with the EPA College\/Underserved Community Partnership Program.<\/p>\n<p>Ford, who introduced Angle, said UTC has been involved in Chattanooga community environmental issues for many years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs you may know, we\u2019ve been transitioning from a polluted industrial city to a flourishing place focused on sustainability and the outdoors. We still have work to do and that\u2019s why we\u2019re here today,\u201d Ford said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis MOU will open doors for more UTC students across campus and other departments to be engaged in the community for hands-on experiences to help underserved residents live better lives in Chattanooga.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In discussing the importance of students\u2019 role in public health and environmental issues, Blackman talked about advancing the EPA\u2019s goal of taking decisive action to promote environmental justice and civil rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is important to me because my grandfather was a diplomat to the United Nations,\u201d said Blackman, the son of immigrants from Barbados. \u201cFor me, there\u2019s a quote from the United Nations that says, \u2018We are well able to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a way for us to give the young people\u2014our students\u2014and this community something more than what we inherit.
