Who We Are
Delta Omega is the national honorary society in public health. The mission of Delta Omega is to encourage and recognize excellence in practice, research, education, and academic achievement in the field of public health. The Gamma Tau chapter of Delta Omega, established at Mason in 2013, recognizes top graduate and undergraduate students in the Department of Global and Community Health's academic programs (BS, MPH, MS, and PhD).
Membership
Membership in the Gamma Tau chapter of Delta Omega is by invitation only and based on graduating GPA as well as intention to work in public health. Faculty and students may nominate a student to be inducted during the awards nomination period. To be eligible, spring and summer graduates must apply to graduate by the spring graduation deadline set by the Office of the Registrar.
We induct up to:
- 20% of all graduate students (fall, spring, summer graduates)
- 10% of all undergraduate students (fall, spring, summer graduates)
