Delta Omega-Honorary Society in Public Health

The Delta Omega Society is the honorary society for graduate studies in public health. Delta Omega was established in 1924 at Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health (now the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health) as an honorary society to encourage and recognize excellence in practice, research, education, and academic achievement in the field of public health. There are more than 13,000 members of Delta Omega in 70 chapters throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. A National Executive Council, consisting of elected officers and delegates from the local chapters, administers the affairs of Delta Omega. The Society is governed by a constitution and set of bylaws.

The Beta Delta Chapter of Delta Omega was established at the Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health in 2005.

Members are selected from each of four groups: public health graduate students, faculty members at the College, alumni of the College who are actively engaged in public health work, and honorary members who possess exceptional qualifications. Election from all three groups is based on outstanding performance: scholarship in students, teaching and research in faculty members, and community service in alumni. Each candidate must also meet membership criteria as set forth in the constitution and bylaws. The Society accepts only students meeting high academic standards. All candidates must also demonstrate a potential for making significant contributions to the field of public health.

For information about the Delta Omega Society, Beta Delta Chapter,  email Amanda Philyaw Perez at philyawamandag@uams.edu.

Membership

The Delta Omega Beta Delta Chapter selects Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health students, faculty and alumni for membership each year.  Only students in the top 25 percent of the graduating class are eligible for membership. Faculty and alumni are nominated by other Delta Omega Beta Delta Chapter members for membership. The Delta Omega Beta Delta Chapter Nomination Committee reviews all nominations and selects individuals whose practice, research, education, and academic achievement in the field of public health would serve as a model for future graduates of the College.
