Alan Ewert

In May of 2013, Dr. Alan Ewert took over as interim chair for the Department of Environmental Health, and since then has played an instrumental role within the department as the school continues the accreditation process. In October of 2014, the faculty of the department unanimously recommended that Ewert be appointed the department’s permanent chairperson. 

“Dr. Ewert has done an outstanding job in leading this department during the past several months, and he will continue to do so in a joint appointment with the Department of Recreation, Park, and Tourism Studies,” said School of Public Health-Bloomington Dean Mohammad Torabi. “He has been very helpful as the school continues through the accreditation process; his expertise in the natural environment and human health has made him a good fit at this point in time to lead our Department of Environmental Health, and maintain his commitments in Recreation, Park, and Tourism Studies.”
