<\/p>Dr. Cusack said she is looking forward to getting to know WOU\u2019s student population.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am excited to be joining the faculty at WOU,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Dr. Cusack\u2019s doctoral studies had a focus on environmental epidemiology and her research has focused on built environments.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of my current projects is examining the acute physiological effects of green space on heart rate, blood pressure and brain activity. So we are looking to see the changes that occur when you walk in a park versus a residential area versus a busy urban area,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Dr. Cusack, who also has a master\u2019s of public health from OSU and a bachelor\u2019s in environmental science from the University of Waterloo, worked as an instructor of public health at OSU prior to being hired by WOU. Dr. Cusack was also an ORISE post-doctoral fellow working with the Western Ecology Division of the Environmental Protection Agency prior to working at WOU.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Related Posts” module_class=”aks-section aks-blog-related-section” _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_row module_class=”aks-content-container aks-content-container-row aks-row aks-blog-related-row” _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ module_class=”aks-blog-related-col” _builder_version=”4.4.7″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_code admin_label=”Related Posts (Heading)” module_class=”aks-mod aks-blog-related-head” _builder_version=”4.4.7″]
