2012 Delta Omega Induction
About Delta Omega
Delta Omega is the honor society for graduate studies in public health. The society was founded in 1924 and currently includes 66 chapters throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. Membership in Delta Omega reflects the dedication of an individual to quality in the field of public health and to protecting and advancing the health of all people. To learn more, visit the national Delta Omega web site.
About the Omega Chapter
Wright State University's Gamma Alpha chapter was established in January 2010. Our first induction ceremony was held on May 19, 2010. We are very proud of our membership and will be seeking ways to further engage them in our chapter and the WSU community.
We are currently exploring ways to engage our membership, including networking events and community service activities. If you are a member of Delta Omega, and would like to get more involved, we would love to hear from you!

Eligibility, Selection Criteria and Nominations
Each spring, Delta Omega inducts new members from three groups: (1) WSU MPH graduate degree students who have completed at least 25 credits hours by the end of the fall semester; (2) WSU MPH alumni actively engaged in public health work; and (3) WSU MPH full-time faculty. All candidates must demonstrate the potential to make significant contributions to the field of public health.
WSU MPH Graduate Students
Graduate student applicants must have a cumulative grade point average equal to, or greater than, 3.8 and demonstrated leadership in professional and community activities within the field of public health.
WSU MPH Alumni
Alumni must demonstrate leadership in professional and community activities within the field of public health that serves as a model for future graduates of the school. The selection committee generally focuses most on accomplishments and activities since graduation, so very recent graduates will not typically be competitive.
WSU MPH Faculty
Full-time faculty members are evaluated based on outstanding public health performance in teaching, research and community service and leadership within and outside of the WSU.
