Environmental Science Course Begins!
We welcome Professor Sandra Nonyerem Bunmi Ukoh to TCS where she will teach Environmental Science. This three credit college course comes to us through our partnership with Baltimore City Community College. Especially in this time, learning about the environment and the natural world is critically important.
Professor Ukoh was born in Nigeria and studied at the University of Lagos. She holds three degrees in science. She describes her interest this way: “My interest is in environmental pollution, health and toxicology which is the branch of public health that focuses on the relationships between contaminant, people and their environment; so as to promotes human health and well-being; and fosters healthy and safe communities.The study and effects of these chemicals on human health and the environment using the principles of biology and chemistry to ascertain the behavior of man-made and natural chemicals. The impact of this study is to advance policies and programs to reduce chemical and other environmental exposures in air, water, soil and food to protect people and provide communities with healthier environments.”
Students in the 11th and 12th grades are taking this course and they are already eagerly learning. Thank you Michelle White from BCC for bringing this opportunity to our students. Welcome Professor Sandra to our learning community!
