Delta Omega Honorary Society - Delta Mu Chapter
The Delta Omega Honorary Society in Public Health was founded to recognize outstanding achievement in public health. Virginia Tech's chapter of Delta Omega, Delta Mu, was established in 2017. Each spring, a select number of Virginia Tech graduates, alumni, faculty, and honorary members are inducted into Delta Mu.
Membership in Delta Omega honors the dedication of individuals to high quality public health scholarship, as well as to the protection and advancement of the health of all people. Selection is based on academic excellence and demonstrated qualities of leadership in public health for students and faculty, and for alumni and honorary inductees, on accomplishments that serve as a model for future graduates. National guidelines for yearly inductions can be found here.
