I am pleased to announce the appointment of Brent Cooley as the Interim Director for Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S). This assignment was effective earlier this spring and coincided with the June retirement of Buddy Morris, former Director of EH&S.
Brent has over thirteen years of experience working with the UCSC EH&S program and for the past ten years has worked as the Industrial Hygiene Program Manager. Brent has continually been gaining management experience and technical expertise throughout his tenure at UCSC and assumed progressively responsible positions.
In his interim role, Brent has assumed the full scope of responsibilities for the EH&S unit and will be responsible for the leadership of EH&S and the administration for the programs housed in EH&S.
He will continue to ensure that University operations are in compliance with applicable codes and regulations relating to the environment, health and safety of faculty, staff, students and the public.
I hope you will join me in supporting Brent and his assumption of his assignment.
