This year, we’re celebrating One Health Day on October 30 with a look into the “frightening and fantastic” world of fungi! Join us at the UT Student Union to learn about the complex interactions of fungi in human, animal, plant, and environment health. You’ll also learn about the mushrooms of Appalachia and the critical roles fungi play in culinary arts. Fungi-forward refreshments will be provided, and Halloween costumes are encouraged!

PET Lab invites students to participate in a virtual environmental art showcase celebrating One Health Day! Students can submit original artwork exploring topics such as plastic pollution, microplastics, clean water, and water filtration. Each submission should include a short description explaining the artwork's message and the science behind the environmental issue it represents. On November 3, One Health Day, selected students will present their artwork during a live virtual showcase, discussing the scientific concepts and environmental challenges that inspired their work.

Get a behind-the-scenes look at careers that connect human, animal, and environmental health, moderated by Dr. Mariah Seater. Join Dr. Michelle Johannsen of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and Dr. Christina (Nina) Hansen, Associate Dean and Attending Veterinarian for the UAF Department of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Resources Center, as they share a “day in the life” of their work. They’ll talk about their career paths and how their work relates to One Health. Students from all majors are welcome to attend.
