In 2012, the Delta Omega Honorary Society will host its inaugural Day of Service as part of National Public Health Week. This event will connect members through chapter events and service activities. We encourage members to contact the the leadership of chapters in their area (regardless of whether they were inducted at that chapter) to see how they may can get involved.

The inaugural Delta Omega Day of Service will take place during National Public Health Week (April 2-8, 2012). The theme for this year's NPHW is "A Healthier America Begins Today!" Chapters may select any day during NPHW to hold their Day of Service activities that align with this theme and Delta Omega's mission of excellence. Review this presentation for suggestions on how to plan your chapter's Day of Service.

Whether it's research focused, service geared, or community outreach, all activities should be organized by Delta Omega Chapters and promoted as such. Coming soon: DO Day Calendar, which will list all chapters' planned DO Days and activities!
